<p>Well, I have to say that I loved the SD 45-t2's. The SD 45-t2's where the first 6 axle locomotives that I ever operated and I love how they ran. They were very smooth and very quite on the inside. The worst thing about them was the bell being right over the cab. Working for a shortline and having a conductor trying to sleep a little and then coming up on a crossing and ringing the bell was not that good.</p><p>I know most of the folks reading this are saying, The Conductor trying to sleep while the train is moving. That not Safe. Well, you are right, but sometimes you just got to break the rules to do your job. Especially when someone is telling you to do 14 hours worth of work and you die at 12 hours. 14 hours worth of work not including the running time from point to point.</p>
