CSXâs GP38-2 fleet is one of the most diverse in North America, having been assembled through decades of mergers, acquisitions, and inherited locomotive rosters rather than a single large purchase. The railroad originally acquired GP38-2 locomotives from numerous predecessor railroads, including Seaboard Coast Line (SCL), Louisville & Nashville (L&N), Georgia Railroad (GA), Clinchfield Railroad (CRR), Chesapeake & Ohio (C&O), Baltimore & Ohio (B&O), and Durham & Southern (D&S), as well as Conrail (CR) or its predecessor, Penn Central (PC). Today, CSX GP38-2 locomotives are commonly assigned to local freight, yard switching, branch line operations, and work trains. Their varied heritage, spanning multiple historic railroads, makes the CSX GP38-2 fleet one of the most historically diverse collections of second-generation EMD road switchers still in operation in North America.
