Funny thing about the SD45's of the NP. NP actually liked the GE U25C and U28C better cause they would out pull the EMD's in the mountains and the NP was not impressed with the wheel slip problems the SD45 had over the same rails. I understand that the NP went to EMD and told them they would purchase the unit in quantity if they would copy the GE wheel slip design. EMD got the hint and the rest is history.
