WC's SD45 fleet sent to the scrapper

[CMSTPP]

How can the traction motors be used for other units beside an SD45 unless another unit has the same set up. I thought curtain traction motors could only fit under curtain locomotives?
If I am wrong quote me.

You know more about the insides of diesels than me James. I'm pretty sure you can interchange them with SOME other units, like maybe an SD40-2 or something.

Well I know for a fact that SD40-2s and SD45 sit on the exact same frame so my guess would be they also have the exact same traction motor, since there trucks are almost the same length. But I don't think you can switch a traction motor out of an SD70 and expect an SD45 traction motor to fit. Of course I maybe wrong about this but I am not sure. If someone knows this answer let me know.

doesnt CN's main fleet consist of primarily the newer units like the SD70 series and the newer GEs? how many dash 2s are even left in their fleet?

[coborn35]

Enough.

i see. if they had a roster on their site, i would be able to find out. so far, only UP seems to have a roster on their website

How many times do i have to say. You can find good rosters MORE ACCURATE than anything the dumb company can give you. Google is there for a reason man.

3026 was down here again today.

O yes, the railroads dont know jack.

Dude, Max. Do you really think that the railroad company updates the retired/scrapped locomotives often if they have one on there site? No. And im sure thats the last thing they care about, why do you make these snide remarks. You act like your better then a lot of people, whats with it?

Alec

[coborn35]

No, im am very sarcastic. It was not snide. Your comment wasnt worded right. Its not that the dumb companys CANT give you more up to date info, they just DONT give you accurate info.. The Diesel Shop has much better information.
I dont really see how I act better than people when everyone on here knows full well how sarcastic I am. Everyone also knows how I like to **** people so and that my comments (sarcastic ones) have to be taken with a grain of salt. Settle down, have a fizzy , and lets go back to ***ing CN! lol (sarcastic guys)
