All I know is what I got from experience at NS. Why they truck change I do not know. But that they both at good. Track on the NS was pretty good but we used to reach Toledo OH via the Ann Arbor RR they had jointed track and little bumps and dips. You quickly found out how good the suspension really was. By the way when they shipped the Hammersley SD-50's here I got on in my consist and it said it was rated for 3500 HP but some of the NS ones were rated for 3600 HP. The SD-60's we had were rated at 3800 HP. The C-40-9W we have are rated at 4000 HP but came be uprated to 4400 HP. I must me really hot in Austrailia due to the double insulated roofs and air cond. But why do they paint the things dark colors. A big black loco is murder in Michigan when is 85 degrees. As I was leaving NS they got the bright idea to paint the roofs white.
