Latest CSX GE Deliveries

The forth batch of the 52 recently purchased GE B40-8 locomotives from Union Pacific has been delivered to the CSX last Saturday September 28, 2013. As usual with the three prior batches, the units have the nose shield painted out, along with the 'Union Pacific' lettering on the hood. The units traveled on CSX Q670 from East St Louis, IL to Cincinnati, OH, and CSX Q541 from Cincinnati, OH to Waycross, GA. There are three more moves scheduled before all units are delivered. All are scheduled to be delivered by the end of October, and all to be in service by early November. Units on this forth move are as follows:

UP 1822 to be CSX 5918

I find it a bit odd there's no photos of any of this anywhere...

And on top of that, no other site has this information... There was a topic on trainorders.com about it, but apparently it got deleted... Hmm...

AND they are almost all repainted? This seems unlikely.

It's unfortunate that a few foaming railfans feel the need to start rumors........since this is all fake,
there's no need to continue this thread, thanks to all for confirming that this "info" is not valid.
