edbenton The only Class one I was aware of that Reduced the HP on the ES44 was NS theirs are considered ES40's I asked a engineer for the BNSF helps I live right next to the BNSF connection track with the NS and be amazed what information you can get for a big cup of hot Coffee. He flat out told me that the BNSF Evos are all rated for 4400 HP and will not be reduced in power. Also he has heard that they are getting 100 more of the ES44AC4's evidently they love them and will be using them on any and all trains except coal.
