| RJ Corman recently took delivery of 6 former Progress Rail Leasing/Norfolk Southern EMD SD70Ms as lately they have been seeking replacements for their EMD SD40T-2s "Tunnelmotors" used on their ALCAN and Sand Trains running between Memphis Junction, Kentucky to Bowling Green, Kentucky along with Lexington, Kentucky to Louisville, Kentucky respectively. They began using GMTX leased SD60s that were former "Suzie Q" nee EMDX/Oakway Leasing EMD SD60s they were used until September of 2022 when they were placed in storage at RJ Corman's Lexington Yard awaiting return to their leaser GMTX most likely. I'd say that once they send these 6 SD70Ms through the paint shops they will likely be placed into service replacing the Tunnelmotors sometime in 2023 or 2024. |
