• Founded in 1981, Guilford Transportation Industries looked to form a railroad company by acquiring some of the various bankrupt roads in the Northeast. The Maine Central was acquired first, followed by the B&M and the D&H. The Guilford roster was a veritable rolling museum, featuring such oddities as ex-MEC U18Bs, former ATSF SD26s, and former NW / ITC SD39s. Some of the more reliable units on the roster were a group of former CN GP40-2Ls, numbered in the 500 series and acquired in the early 2000s. Since then, the Guilford name has ceased to exist, being replaced in 2006 by Pan Am Railways, and most recently, CSX- yet some of the Guilford-painted GP40-2Ls continue on in service, wearing their 20+ year old paint jobs.
