FM got off to a very, very poor start on UP with their first set of cab units, which more or less blew up out in the high desert due to due to problems with heat and thin air. <br /> <br />They did go for a few more units, notably some H-20-44's but only under very favorable purchase conditions. <br /> <br />By the time the Train Master came along, railroad motive power managers ( at least the brighter ones) were beginning to understand the economies of polyglot locomotive fleets (training, down time, cost of parts inventory, etc) and were beginning to back off from minority builders, no matter how good the product. <br />
