From what I have heard it hasn't sounded like any road is too thrilled with them. I heard that the GE's were burning out their traction motors pretty fast and the EMD's were having problems with some of the prime movers at first and then some of the radiators. <br /> <br />TRAINS had an interesting article a couple months ago, saying they think the horse power race could be over. And after reading it I can agree. The locomotives in some ways are too big. They are definately not as versitile as older power, if you use them in a yard switching or on a local you're not using them efficiently. Plus they're so heavy, it's kinda like the situation UP had with some of it's larger older power (length mostly), when a locomotive is too big and heavy it has to be confined to the mailines with the heaviest rail and roadbed. If you have alot of lighter units go down at once then what do you do?
