Thanks for that highly informative reply, Favuprailroadfan (especially since I probably won't be seeing the train anytime soon). For the AC6000's you've been seeing on the train, have they been random numbers in the 7500-7579 class, only the latest series (7555-7559)? Do any CSX fans have any info as to the speed limit on CSX? <br /> <br />Another question - has anyone seen (or otherwise know) if UP switches out the power at McCook, IL either on the eastbound or westbound runs? <br /> <br />Last question for now - I read somewhere else that the UP power sits in Little Ferry, NJ or Kearney NJ from late Thursday night until early Tues. morning for the next Golden Streak departure - can anyone confirm this? A four and a half day period seems to be an incredibly long layover, especially since railroads are always striving for maximum utilization of power (especially 24,000 h.p. per set), and given that UPS is not even paying a premium for the service. If UPS was willing to pay a surcharge for this service, the layover (if in fact this is the case) would seem much more reasonable.
