Peter, yesterday evening I realized what I had wrote: When the BNSF will have AC4400´s in GEVO configuration, this locos will have the new 12 cylinder 4400 hp diesel like the UP C45ACCTE´s !!!! And I made a mistake in the deliverey dates - The first of the new ordered AC4400 wasn´t ready at Erie before 2003 !!! In 2002 the BNSF became only Dash9´s. I found the roadnumbers on a BNSF webpage - in Diesel Era Magazine, I think 3-4/2003 was only an article about 50 AC4400´s that will be deliver to the BNSF. SIEMENS: Siemens with the daughtercompany Krauss-Maffei built the new 300 km per hour ICE 3 passenger trains. The DBAG (German railroad) had a lot of fun with this in the first time - problems, problems, problems! The ICE3 is an electronic monster! Now, more than one year after the start of the system, the trains run well! The line is only 1 kilometer away from my home and a fatal failure that requieres a pull with one of the dieselhelper units will be now every 10 to 12 days and 120 trains run each day - that is less than 0,5 % of the trains will have big trouble! One reason is that Siemens couldn´t test the trains here under real conditions - the 300 km/h line wasn´t ready before 2002. A friend of me is a ICE engineer (pilot???) and I got a cabride (cockpitride ???) with him. 300 km with a train and then in the cab are absolute great!
