i think that the sd40-2 will always outperform any of these new a.c. traction units any day. yeah, they may gulp a little more fuel, but you need PERFORMANCE in a railroad. the sd40-2 was, and still is the answer. i think it is a little too late for enviromental concerns concerning this model. look at all the cars, trucks, jet planes, forrest fires, industries, spacecraft that pukes smoke in the air, and, all the years that diesl fuel has been burned, from locomotives in the past. does it really matter now? the planet is fine, the people are the ones in trouble. UP had an incident where the "wonderful" ac44's broke down, and what came to save the day? a single sd40-2, took that train to where it had to be. GE & EMD like to put crankshafts in 6000 hp blocks that can't crank out the juice, and, ...snap!! it is a shop unit once again. the sd40-2 and the c30-7 were, and are still the top models for these companies. but, there was always ALCO!!!
