250 years of America deserves a celebration on rails! Our CSX railroaders brought skill and pride to two commemorative locomotives honoring our nation and the people who’ve kept it moving. Take a 360° spin and see them up close. #America250#CSX200
Look who's here!
The ninth addition to our heritage fleet, Locomotive No. 250 celebrates America's 250th anniversary with patriotic colors and a design that blends past and present.
As part of an ongoing effort to bolster its Regional Rail fleet #SEPTA is purchasing 24 coach rail cars from Exo in Quebec, Canada.
Exo formally approved SEPTA’s $8.58 million bid for the coach cars at its board meeting in March. Funding for the purchase of these rail cars comes from the nearly $220 million in additional capital dollars allocated by Governor Josh Shapiro in November 2025 to support urgent safety upgrades and infrastructure improvements.
These cars were manufactured by Bombardier in the late 1980s and will be paired with SEPTA’s existing fleet of ACS-64 electric locomotives. These additional rail cars will help us enhance reliability and expand capacity for our customers while we work toward replacing our aging Regional Rail fleet.
We're currently working out logistics for transporting these passenger rail cars from Montreal. A timeline for placing them into service will be developed later this spring. We need to modify the doors, other systems, and signage (it's currently en francais) to meet SEPTA standards.
What do you think of the longitudal seating? Yay or nay?
PS. This is not an April Fools' joke.
