[quote user="n012944"][quote user="Dutchrailnut"]  Currently the GE's are being rebuilt so they may last longer, but I sure hope they replace any engine after about 15 years so next generation of railroaders do not have to deal with old power but get the latest technology. [/quote]Now that is a cost affective plan![D)]  The newest technology does not always equal the best equipment in a railroaders world.  Just go ask most freight engineers around today what their favorite locomotive to operate is.  You will get hear from many of them "SD40-2" a 30+ year old locomotive. Bert[/quote]Good point. I know that lots of railroader hate the "knee knocker" control stands on the newer units. I know I hate seeing SD70s or ES44DCs on EVERY SINGLE train I see on CSX. Only a few still have good ol' standard noses. I don't mind the GE noses, but some of the SD70s are just plain UGLY! Where did all the SD40-2s go?! Sorry if this got off topic.
