CN L549 Question

Unread post by NSSD70ACe »

Howdy folks,

I had a question regarding L549. Over the last few months, I’ve noticed that the power used for the Kalamazoo local has changed several times. Back in March, GECX 9129 was assigned there. Then at the beginning of April it was CN 5601. Now, at the start of May, it’s 5456. The power appears to be changing monthly. My question is: why? Seems like a lot of trouble to switch power at a rather remote yard so frequently.

I think the power has to be serviced monthly (fuel, maintenance check, etc.)
