Santa Fe, certainly known for good maintenance, bought replacement passenger diesels when their F3/7s were not much over 25. GN, same story. SAL got SDP35's because their E's were ageing. Even SP who wanted out bought a few SDP45's because their passenger units were getting old. C&O/B&O were in talks w/EMD for FPs before the advent of Amtrak.Tidbit, while the Amtrak SDP40F's were speed restricted on some RR's not so on others. One might imagine differences in track quality. |
