Quite possibly the cleanest locomotive Espee owned at that time. This locomotive was delivered to Louisville & Nashville as GP38-2 4090, the class unit of a ten diesel order in October 1972 which became Seaboard System 4090 then CSX 2600. Sold to Helm as HLLX 2600, this unit got a fresh coat of Helm maroon and blue then joined the SP roster as 4864 with a simple 'SP' on the hood. After the UP merger, this Geep returned to Helm and now works as HLCX 3855 wearing a solid maroon dip job. |
