CSXT 1531
| EMD GP15-1
|
|
| 2000
| Ex. Conrail 1607. Unit was loaned to Cape Cod Central after CSXT derailed and damaged the two GP7s enroute from Florida to Massachusetts, leaving CCCRR with only one locomotive (RS3m 1201) at the start of the season. Shortly after it was sent to the Cape, CSXT sold/traded this unit along with 11 other GP15-1s to Locomotive Leasing Partners (LLPX). As this unit was no longer owned by CSXT, they needed it returned, and consequently sent GP32-2 2764 to the Cape in its place. As luck would have it, Bay Colony needed to lease an engine right at that time, and this unit ended up in trash train service for a while. It was renumbered LLPX 1505, and is currently (2004) in service in Maine.

| Ex. Conrail 8175. Unit was loaned to Cape Cod Central after CSXT derailed and damaged the two GP7s enroute from Florida to Massachusetts, and after GP15-1 1531 was sold/traded to LLPX (see above). After the GP7s finally arrived, and work progressed to get at least one of them (1501) ready for service, this unit was returned to CSXT in late summer, 2000.
