In the new issue of Trains magazine it says that CSX has picked
up 18 B40-8 locos from NS and they will be renumbered to CSX
5962-5979.

They were gathered at Enola and the NS logos were painted out then they were shipped to Cumberland were they received their new numbers.

Just found out it was already mentioned in an NS forum awhile back.
I'll have to be a little more thorough with my searches next time.

No problem, I think everyone has missed something already posted, I know I have done it many a time. It's actually probably a good thing as it helps out others who may have otherwise missed information.
