Hello Powerdesk, I seem to recall that the WP train crews hated the U-boats. As to GE's claim that the four-axle U30B generated as much tractive effort as the six-axle (and far heavier) SD45, I find that hard to believe. I'd be happy to see any TE figures for comparison should someone know where to dig them up. A nominal guess would be that the SD45 generated about 100,000-plus pounds of TE at 11 mph, while the U30B at most would deliver 84,000, and probably less because it lacked two additional axles. Please chime in, anyone with more information! Paul Schmidt Contributing Editor Trains.com
