[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by wabash1</i> <br /><br />A sd 60 50 40 will change transition roughly no matter what is in the lead. i have had ac traction motor units in the lead over dc units you still feel them change at 22-26mph but i will say this if the ac unit is in the rear and the dc unit is in the lead they will run better. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br /> <br />Mitchell sent me a video tape that he made around his home in Canada. One of the trains he videoed (CP I think) had about 4 or 5 newer GEs with an SD 40 leading. When I viewed the video I wondered why they didn't have a newer unit on the point. Now I know why. Thanks guys. It just goes to show that if you keep your eyes and ears open you can learn something new everyday. [:)] [;)]
