On BNSF we try to use Dash 9's on all our intermodal stuff. Now on our manifest trains we use anything we can find. Like on our LA to Barstow manifest trains you will see A lot of 4 axle yard engines going to Barstow for service. Like all railroads we have to maintain A certain horsepower per ton and number of dynamic brakes per ton. 4 axle engines tend to be on the low end of both of these requirements so it takes more of them to equal say A Dash 9.
