Guilford Duo At Fairfield
CSX Train Sappi-3 rolls through Fairfield on 2/26/2023 with a duo of Guilford 300's as a light snow falls. At the time CSX was reactivating most of the dead and sidelined Pan Am/Guilford GP40's with a power shortage driving that move.
However, over the next year the GP40's would slowly be pulled from service with 306, 319, 326, and 330 being sidelined with rotten draft gear. 350,351, and 353 were stored serviceable with minor issues, while many other units were pulled from service. With many jobs that once used these units, being abolished over the summer of 2023, only a handful of GP40's were needed. This left the 305 and 315 as the only Guilford units left on CSX, while the 316 is being leased to B&E, along with a half dozen or so Pan Am GP40's.
