[edit] Please cite sources!

People are constantly updating the information about locomotive orders. I'm glad this is being kept up to date, but Wikipedia really needs the source for your information to be included. Could you include that? Thanks, Matthew Brown (Morven) (T:C) 15:08, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] CSX ES60AC's

CSX is now upgrading their AC6000CW's to ES60AC's. The AC6000CW's are getting upgraded with new GEVO engines and new Nathan K5HLL's. http://rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=948818

The picture you cite is already a reference in the article GE AC6000CW. However, I hadn't heard that any units other than CSX #628 had the GEVO refit. Do you know if other refits are planned? And if so, is there a source we can cite for this information? n2xjk (talk) 23:15, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

A few other locomotives are getting the same thing. CSX #656 was seen leaving Louisville, KY with a GEVO engine and a standard Nathan K5HL that's found on every ES44 locomotive.

The re-engined CSX AC6000CW's are not and should not be considered "ES60AC", they still have the older computer and control systems systems, and lack the Evolution Series Air-Air/Air-Water aftercooler.
