60,000 apiece for the GP35s
25,000 apiece for the rebuild
5,000 parts
90,000 each Grand Total. Delivered in Primer
The mechanical department will take this week and next to finalize plans and order/start working on parts. We'll pull 8 GP35s from Ensel, and start stripping them. Estimated Completion Date for all 8: Sept. 15th.
Each unit comes with a 2-year wear + tear warranty, 10 year powertrain, MUGC. Units will be just like new, and will lead a full service life of 40 years+ without major mechanical overhaul.
Sounds good! If you could build them as close to BN standards as possible, working with the MUGC, I'd appreciate that!
Our mechanical forces have gotten prints from BNSF. It will take a little extra work, but we can do it
Thanks a lot! Quite a few of our employees worked for BN from the late 1980s until it merged with ATSF and they appreciated the Rebuilt-EMD locomotives coming out of BN's shops in the early 1990s.
