JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – The CSX heritage locomotive fleet has grown to 15 with the addition of a locomotive honoring the Pittsburgh & Lake Erie.
CSX CEO Joe Hinrichs released the first photos of the unit, No. 1875, on LinkedIn this afternoon.
“Another great job by our ONE CSX team in Waycross, GA. Founded in 1875 and headquartered in Pittsburgh, PA – the P&LE was know as the ‘Little Giant’ since it moved so much coal over a small area serving the steel mills in Pennsylvania over to Ohio. We love celebrating our 197-year history as ONE CSX team. Enjoy everyone,” Hinrichs wrote.
The P&LE locomotive joins 14 other railroads represented in the program, including Family Lines; Pere Marquette; Richmond, Fredericksburg & Potomac; Baltimore & Ohio; Chessie System; Seaboard System; Conrail; Chesapeake & Ohio; Louisville & Nashville; Atlantic Coast Line; New York Central; Monon; Western Maryland; and Seaboard Coast Line.
