Hey Chris and Matthew, you back??

[AC6000CW]

let get to the subject of big locomotive power.

[alstom]

What about big loco power? How the EMD SD90MAC and GE AC6000CW have 6,000 horsepower? How the EMD SD80MAC has 5,000? What ever happened to the 4,300 hp SD89MAC?

Off to banff now!

I am here, briefly- AC6000CWs tthe 6000 horespower monsters!!!!!!!!!1

I don't think that any 90MACS got the big motors, but not sure!!!!!!!!1

[alstom]

SD90MACs have 6,000 hp, but I always considered the AC6000CW to be the btter loco---don't know why.

[Anonymous]

Not sure- I know the Union Pacific didn;t get many 6000hp SD90s, but they have AC6000s

[alstom]

You back to stay no Chris?

The UP pretty much buys every loco that comes out! LOL

[Anonymous]

Definently- but I have noticed the BNSF has stopped buying EMDs[:O] That is not Burlington Northern linke inthe lea

[AC6000CW]
