Hi Peter, <br /> <br />in 1999 the BNSF buyed three AC4400CW´s,#5600 to 5602. <br />And then, starting at the end of 2002 the BNSF placed two more, more "real" orders: 145 engines: <br />5603-5717 - - 115 AC4400CW´s <br />and <br />5718-5747 - - 30 AC4400CW´s in TIER 2 GEVO configuration. <br /> <br />Okay the AC4400CW is common to the Dash 9 but when I have such a succesfull fleet of SD70MAC and need some more AC´s, I would buy some more SD70MAC!!! <br /> <br />Peter, I find absolute no logic in such a doing. And TIER 2 couldn´t be the reason: only the last 30 engines are TIER 2 and the AC4400CW isn´t very younger as the SD70MAC. <br /> <br />The only possible reason, I find and see, is that EMD have a lot of work with the completing of UP´s SD70M fleet and could not deliver more SD70MAC´s in a good time.
