21 Post-CSX Careers for Jolly Green Giant GP4OsDiesel Era staff
Of the 51 GP40s built for Seaboard Air Line, most are still in service, either on CSX or working for a variety of Class 1, commuter, short line, foreign, or government-owned railroads. From moving commuters in Virginia to hauling freight in South America, this EMD-designed locomotive continues to earn its keep.

Although painted and lettered for this northeastern freight railroad, Conrail's new SD70s were built to the specifications of one of its new owners, Norfolk Southern. Sporting a conventional cab and 2500-series road numbers, these units mark the end of an era.
35 GE's Super 7 Locomotive LinePaul K. Withers
