| Notes: | |
A |
Norfolk Southern has ordered a pair of 3GS21B gensets from Norfolk Southern Railroad. From an NRE press release dated May 10, 2007. |
B |
NS 301 was nearing completion at NRE Mt. Vernon in mid September 2007. From visual confirmation by Mark Mautner. |
C |
Locomotive observed working a yard job in Atlanta, GA in Jan. 2009. The unit has been assigned to the south for a while now, including being in Birmingham, AL over the summer. |
D |
Build data from a plate check by the webmaster in Jan. '09. Build date reported by several other sources as Sept. 2007. The photo that I took of the builder's plate was slightly blurry, so I can not conclusively say that the build date is Aug. 07. But the month digit definitely appears to be an 8, not a 9. |
