General Electric B40-8s
Lately Pan Am picked up some more second hand engines from GECX. These GE B40-8 engines are former CSXT engines and apear to have their CSXT numbers in use under the MEC marks. They have two axle trucks and tend to stay on the west end of Massachusetts or the Connecticut river line.
My thanks to The Diesel Shop for the information.
