[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by kenneo The SP also ordered the "hood" variety and the three ALCO C643H's. Those units (ALCO's) rode so hard that crews started filing injury claims![/quote] Really? you mean like "back injuries" because of bumpy rides? or something else? [quote]QUOTE: There were several reasons why they were not continued, but most can be called "unfamilure technology". Cost of parts also played a part.[/quote] Think trains mag made mention of something a few years ago along the lines that the railroads were not set up like the socialist german govt where primary interest is in creating jobs for people to work, which I guess was a shot at the high maintenance labor requirement? [quote]QUOTE: We had several assigned to Eugene for a while and the Division used them on the Brooklyn-Eugene pool with one K-M and an F7 A unit paired back-to-back. The F7 would be able to start the train which the K-M could not do. But once the F7 had even only just 1/2 MPH the K-M could hold its feet and the train took off like a rocket. Quite a sight! [/quote] I'll bet...got any pix?
