Why did UP choose the 70 macs

Around here, CN's number series 5600-5799 are all SD75 (except for the first 25 or so which are 70's). While they like the units, the SD75's all had their H.P. downrated to below the 70's due to problems and certainly don't think there is any plans to get more of the 70/75 family. The Dash-9 though is a different story. The Dash-9 is closing in on the same number as the 70/75 family. I think the last order is finished but more maybe on the way. I've never heard a complaint about these units. The fact that SP and CNW (probably the best paint scheme I've seen the GE's in by the way) had them should mean they've had a chance to feel them out by now. Personally I'd have purchased the GE's knowing their proven track record and the fact that they can produce them faster.
