Rail Management Corporation's Bay Line Railroad LLC is receiving a quartet of remanufactured GP40-2 locomotives.

The four units are arriving from Watco's Inman Shop in Baytown, Texas and are receiving the traditional Bay Line green and yellow paint after being mechanically overhauled. The units are former Canadian National Railway, ex-Grand Trunk/Detroit Toledo & Ironton units that have been purchased to replace displaced GP38s that previously worked for the Bay Line and are now assigned to RMC's M&B Railroad.

Road numbers on the GP40-2s are reported as 6416-6419 and are arriving off the Union Pacific to CSXT interchange in New Orleans.

The line from Panama City, FL to Dothan , AL was consolidated with the A&G Railroad to expand operations from Dothan to Abbeville, AL.
