I've read elsewhere that they intend for these to replace both the toasters AND the HHP-8's. Are they really going to retire locomotives after less than 15 years in service?Yup. Why not . . . after all, they retired the SDP40Fs after 12 years and the P30CHs after 18 years, and of course NJT retired their newest ALP-44s after a mere 14 years in service . . . it's only public money, right? (The F40PHs lasted a mere 27 years, as associated as they were with Amtrak in many people's minds.) |
