At Deshler, Ohio — the legendary Crossroads of the B&O — a westbound CSX intermodal train made up of single-level containers rolls across the busy Toledo Subdivision diamonds. Leading the train is a modern GE ES44AC, but the real treat appears mid-train where a CM44AC distributed power unit assists with the heavy load. The CM44AC is a rebuilt GE AC4400CW, giving new life to one of GE’s most successful freight locomotive platforms. Deshler remains one of the Midwest’s best railfan hotspots, offering constant action as CSX freights thunder through the famous crossing. If you enjoy modern freight railroading, GE locomotives, and action at historic railfan locations, this is one you won’t want to miss! 

📍 Location: Deshler, Ohio

CN GP9 with P5 horn and Caboose at Champaign, IL 2004

 

 

 The CN Seymour local winds through downtown Champaign at Randolph Street. On the west side of Randolph, the IC branch actually fed into the Wabash branch line, so at this point he is actually running on the Wabash. The Illinois Terminal put their wires over these tracks as well, and the depot was immediately to my left. Note the "jog" in the platform where the bay window once was. This track is now gone. At this point, the CN train heads east on the ex-Wabash to the IC New Orleans mainline.

CPKC orders new power from Wabtec

By Chris Guss | December 22, 2024

        

Additional power will help bolster the newest Class I's roster

Less than 1-month old, new KCS ET44AC No. 5022 leads a train into East St. Louis, Ill., on April 2, 2019. The new CPKC ET44AC order beginning delivery in 2025 will increase the number of ET44ACs on the roster to 203 units. Chris Guss

---

CPKC will receive some much-needed motive power help starting next year in the form of a 170-unit order of new locomotives from Wabtec.

The railroad has been heavily spending on capacity work across its combined system to support new traffic and motive power has been in short supply to move tonnage across its network. The order consists of 170 ET44ACs with delivery expected to be spread across a number of years considering the large amount of rebuild orders Wabtec already has committed to. Road numbers and reporting marks for the new power hasn’t been disclosed yet.

The ET44ACs will join an existing fleet of 33 ET44ACs, eight of which have recently joined the roster. These eight were a canceled Baffinland Iron Mines order in Canada that were selected from General Electric’s field test units. The other 25 ET44ACs were purchased new before the merger by Kansas City Southern in 2019. The 25 former Kansas City Southern units are the most reliable power on CPKC’s roster and are performing very well. 

Prior to the merger in 2023, Canadian Pacific had been the lone holdout across Class I railroads in adding Tier 4-compliant locomotives, not purchasing new units for over a decade before the CPKC merger. It instead opted to rebuild existing GE and EMD AC traction locomotives, the latter of which were long stored on the railroad. Canadian Pacific’s SD9043MAC fleet was rebuilt to SD70ACUs in 2019 and 2020, adding 60 additional units to Canadian Pacific’s active roster. Canadian Pacific’s last new power purchase was in 2012 when it bought 30 ES44ACs from General Electric.
