<p>[quote user="beaulieu"]</p> <p>BNSF has joined the majority of Class I railroads by ordering nothing but AC drive locomotives, that leaves only CN among the Class I railroads as still buying DC drive mainline locomotives with DC traction motors. How long will that last. Sean Graham-White has reported that this years BNSF order for 227 locomotives will consist entirely of GE ES44C4s. [/quote]</p> <p>Could you explain briefly to someone who is not an engineer or technician the advantages and disadvantages of an AC vs DC locomotive? Thanks!</p>
