[quote user="longhorn1969"]Do not understand how the F125 can be so heavy. Must be the same frame as the hefty DM30s.[/quote] Both DM30 and F125 have monocoques, the side walls take part in carrying the loads. The weight saving compared to the same locomotive on a platform is about 20,000 lbs. To comply to crashworthiness standards you need, put simple, material and that weighs. And than you have the whole equipment. Here is an overview of the F125 in an early state: <a href="https://prezi.com/xhizn5e6bity/f125-tier-4-emd-status-report/">https://prezi.com/xhizn5e6bity/f125-tier-4-emd-status-report/</a> All the modern passenger locomotives weigh between 270K and 290K lbs with the F125 in between.
