UP is keeping their SD9043MAC's and getting rid of the problematic 6000 HP SD90MAC-H's. INRD's are 4300 HP.

As much as I love the steam era, who couldent love this era. I mean we have regonals purchasing, and leasing SD90's B&P, WE, INRD. We have other regonals purchasing SD70ACe's and GEVO's, MRL, IAIS, FEC. We have SD70M's and SD60 on others, NYSW's on I&O, SD60's on INRD, and Evensville & Western (? PatC knows). GP50's were on the MQT, I&O, ect, and many others. These are awEsome times, now with all the "newer" power making its way on to the "shortlines". Mabey the MQT should look into SD9043's or even SD70M-2, ACe's or even GEVOS.

The bigger short lines get the more they look like Class 1's 
.
Anyone like to speculate what modern power WC would have purchased if the were still around

Yeah, I kind of figured it wasn't your shot. You hadn't mentioned any trips in that direction on the site lately.railroadfan wrote:Editted my first post to show it wasn't from me... bad zack, forgot to include that. No harm no foul.Charles W wrote:Wow. Awesome shot, Zack!!!
