There are what? 10 GP59's all in posession of Norfolk Southern? [/quote] I don't want to get into about locos, because some people like Fords and Chevys, well I'm into SD38/39s, SD40-2s, 6-axle Alcos, and anything with a 12 cyl 645 in it( turbo'd or othewise). And I can babble on for hours and hours of fun bs about locos. But I've always wished there would have been a market for an SD59 model. Thing could have looked like a SD40-2 too. Same concept as with the SD38/39/40/SD45 scenario. Big porches for the 12 & 16 cyls, big hood for the 20 cyl obviously. Same with a SD59/60 combo: big hood for the SD60, big porches for the SD59. And all vanity aside, a SD59 could have been a modern age/ fuel mizing/cost concious mean & lean freight lugging / hauling machine. A third gen SD39 on steroids of 710 pills. Plop some HTCRs under it, and it's even more on the side of saving dollars. Alright, enough of my loco bs. Back to the regular program.....
