[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by kraig</i> <br /><br />Whatever happened to the ATSF using 4 axle power on its hot intermodal trains. I thought I read an article stating that the Santa Fe liked using 4 axle power better for its intermodal trains because they were more lightweight and faster. <br /> <br />Kraig <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />I think it had something to do with the weight of the intermodals. Over the years they got continually heavier as intermodal business increased.
