These rebuilt SD35 and SDP35 units came from the Seaboard System, where they were numbered 1-8. As CSX 1001-1008, they spent their time on CSX working in ex Seaboard System major yards such as in Waycross, GA and Hamlet, NC.

Often found in yard service around the system, CSX rostered 75 SD35s. The Seaboard System contributed most of the units from both SCL and L&N heritage, but each of the 3 Chessie roads contributed some as well.

Only two of these units were on the CSX roster (2420-2421), and both were former L&N SD35s. They worked in Osbourne Yard in Louisville, KY, at least during their time on CSX.
EMD SD38 Locomotives /
SD38
The conrail split brought a handful of new models to the CSX roster, the SD38 being one of them. CSX did have SD38-2 units, so these ex-Conrails were numbered immediately above them on the roster.

CSX inherited SD40s from both the Chessie side (B&O, C&O, WM), and the Seaboard side (L&N, CRR, GM). CSX had a major SD40 rebuild program upgrading the completed units to SD40-2s. Units that didn't get rebuilt were eventually renumbered into the 4600 series.
