Maybe a shortline in the region purchased these at the auction back in August?

Poor 5119 looks like NS sent it to a quarry.

Both of these units were sold at auction in August, along with 60 other GP38-2s, mostly high hoods. Their new owner is Frontier Rail, per NSDash9. Even after the auction, NS still has 102 high hoods and some 200 rebuilt GP38-2s in service.

They were purchased by Frontier Rail in the recent GP38-2 auction held by Norfolk Southern. Check here for more: http://www.nsdash9.com/NSauction082017.html

Norfolk Southern put a hand full of High Hood Locomotives up for auction in August this year. Frontier Rail bought both locomotives at the auction.
