Posted by Olog-hai on Sat Jul 28 09:38:42 2012, in response to Re: Amtrak's ACS-64, posted by Bill from Maspeth on Sat Jul 28 09:30:12 2012. The F40PHs lasted only an average of 25 years. That's not exactly "saving" Amtrak. The AEM-7s had to be rebuilt into AEM-7ACs to allow them to haul as many as 14 cars solo. There wasn't enough work done on the E60 before delivery to Amtrak to allow them to run at high speeds; really has nothing to do with C-C (there are locos with that wheel arrangement that run at 125 mph and faster). |
