I expect that what we are seeing right now is a repeat of what happened in the early 1970s. EMD had the SD45X out at 4200 HP which only sold a small hadfull to SP and MLW had the M640 which only sold one unit to CP. The technology of the time just wasn't up to supporting 4000 horsepower. But now a 4000 (or greater) HP locomotive is common. <br /> <br />So some years from now, when the builders have been able to develop the technology to reliably produce 6000 HP and deliver it to the railhead, we will see 6000 HP locomotives becoming common.
