Chessie and Seaboard SD35s

Hello, can someone help me with some research?  I'm wanting to know how many SD35s the Chessie and Seaboard Systems rostered.  Also, how many also wore Chessie and Seaboard paint?  Thanks so much!

  got some numbers,but not all for You:
   ACL/SCL 24 SD35s,to L&N in the late 70s.
  ACL/SCL- 1 SDP35
  SAL/SCL no SD35s,20 SDP35s,some rebuilt as Hump locos in the late 70s.
  C&O/B&O/WM, SD35s,but not sure many made it to CSX ?
  L&N/FL  not sure how many SD35s before the ex-SCL units arrived ?
  L&N/FL had 4 SDP35s.
   someone or 2 should fill the numbers in .

High Hood,

I dug out my books, which indicate:

Seaboard System (as of 1/1983): 54 SD35s* (road nos. 4505-4548, 4584-4593)

Seaboard System (as of 1986): 56 SD35s* (road nos. 2421, 2429, 4511-4548, 4584-4599)

Chessie System (B&O) (as of 1/1976): 24 SD35s (road nos. 7400-7419, 7437-7440)
Chessie System (C&O) (as of 1/1976): 12 SD35s (road nos. 7420-7431)
Chessie System (WM) (as of 1/1976): 5 SD35s (road nos. 7432-7436)

Chessie System (B&O) (as of 1/1987): 14 SD35s (road nos. 7402, 7407-7419)
Chessie System (C&O) (as of 1/1987): 9 SD35s (road nos. 7420-7421, 7423-7426, 7428, 7430-7431)
Chessie System (WM) (as of 1/1987): 3 SD35s (road nos. 7433-7435)

FYI, Atlas will be producing N scale SD35s in Seaboard System, Chessie System (B&O), and Chessie System (C&O) later this year.  Check it out: http://www.atlasrr.com/NLoco/nsd35c.htm

* While I tried to disregard the SDP35 model, which was inherited by SBD from SCL, my source also indicates that the SD35s numbered 4524-4526 and 4534-4535 are some of the former SDP35s)

Hope this helps,
DFF
