Today 3 CSX trains went by my house. All of them with humpbacks(GEVO'S). So i guess they are shipping them down here from Erie. Anyone have anymore info?

I read something about the GEVO S, apparently the Maker of the Green Goat locomotives are losing a lot of their orders to GEVOS

I always thought the humpbacks were the original Dash 8s like this C39-8 at Pogue.

I have only heard Gevos being referd to as Humpbacks, but looking at that Dash I wouldnt be surprised if it also had the same nickname. Alex
