Basically the UP was the driving force behind the 6000 HP models from both GM and GE,and by all reports Uncle Pete has not been happy with the results. Both manufacturers had to pu***he envelope in developing the new prime movers for these units,and it's been a rocky road in the development process. There's also concern that the big engines are too hard on the rails and switches. <br /> CSX seems to have been the most satisfied of the three roads which roster 6000 HP locomotives,but their whole fleet of AC6000CWs just had to be sent back to have the traction motors replaced. CP has a small number of H engined SD90MACs but hasn't shown any interest in ordering more.
