i know one thing about he apu's in the engines we have on csx. and maybe someone can back me up here. THEY STINK. whoever thought of that idea has never done railroading in some really cold weather. last winter, we had the whole intro class to the apu system on the engines. they work fine as long as it does not get below 20 degrees. we had 36 days and the warmest it got was 2 above freezing. we got our buts chewed the first week for not using the apu's. so we started using them. needless to say we started sending engines back to dewitt at a rate of two a day that were frozen solid because the apu froze up. well after a month with only half of motive power fleet that was running and numerous delayed and cancelled trains we wemt back to the old way of leaving the engines in the 3rd notch while idleing. it just goes to show oyou that jacksonville can not run a railroad in new york. and if i remember right, conrail never had as bad a problem like this in the winter.
