Question, what is torco? Is it a seporate company or is it part of CSX? I Photographed #999 in downtown Cumberland Maryland and tried to look it up. I can't find any photos of it. I also spotted 996 or 997 burried in the shops.

For example in the picture you posted they didn't re-paint the unit other than putting TORCO's reporting initials on it and changing the unit's numbers after blocking out the "CSXT" markings.The TORCO engines are not 'leasers'. The have the TORCO reporting marks, they get shipped to the CSX Cumberland Locomotive Shop for their required 92 day maintenance cycles and major repairs.

If so, then they would be the last locomotives on CSX's roster which are still technically in the YN1 paint scheme. http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/locoli ...
