Candidacy for scrap is a decision based upon many factors. Larger railroads may wait until after a lease expires or after a new generation of locomotives comes along making unit reductions or units failure rates get unacceptably high or a unit with a major failure may be scrapped and of course there's the questions of availability of funds to buy or lease newer power. A lot of factors for the railroad to consider. And every railroad has their own polices. Of course a Class 1s trash can well be treasure for smaller roads. There are a LOT of parts still out there for GP9s. Look for them and the newer rebuilds to be around for a LONG time. <br /> <br />LC
