interesting point about the GE's, on the UP there are a bunch of these GE's that are flagged in the computer to keep 'em out of California due to emission problems, although they still run 'em into Cal. Also, there are several, I guess test bed, GE's running around with test equipment trying to get them up to tier 1. be interesting to see how they solve their emission problems, might have to do something like EMD and have an engine driven turbo with an over-running clutch to keep the turbo from lagging. Didn't know about the NS order. anybody heard any bad things about the SD80MAC's that CSX,NS inherited from Conrail? just curious about that 20cyl. 710 engine and whether they are good units or not.
