    I know BNSF is ordering and taking delivery of them, UP as well. How about KCS, CP, CN, CSX and NS? Any others?
    BNSF's GEVO's BNSF 5700-5729?

    I have seen several places (I thought also in one of our TrainBoard forums...) that NS's next batch of Dash 9's will be GEVO variants. I don't think CSX has announced that they would take the plunge...

    GEVO is short for GE Evolution Series locomotives. I believe these are only AC4400s at this point, so don't know how DC Dash 9s would be converted to GEVOs.
