EPA scandal[]
Towards the end of January of 2023, Genesee & Wyoming got into a legal settlement with the federal government for violating the Clean Air Act (CAA), and as a consequence, the Genesee & Wyoming had been forced to retire 88 of their diesel locomotives from their roster on the majority of their railroads. Most of these diesel locomotives were units from the first and second generation of diesels. Aside from having to pay a $1.3 million penalty they stated that none of the locomotives would be preserved as they must be "permanently destroyed" and be replaced by newer locomotives.
Genesee & Wyoming had originally stated that they would rebuild their older locomotives to comply with new EPA regulations, but either didn't rebuild them or just falsified the paperwork just to get away with it, its unknown why they didn't rebuild their older locomotives to comply with new EPA regulations.
The following locomotives are listed here:[1]
