Re: Amtrak orders 75 new Siemens Charger locomotives for LD trains

The E60CH and E60CP were different designs, with different placements for the steam generator. They didn't have any derailment issues, but Amtrak swore off C-C units after the SDP40F mess, and restricted the E60s to 85 MPH MAS on the NEC. That prematurely killed the GEs right there.
