Mark, <br />Good question indeed. I have wondered about that myself. UP really wasn't a big fan of the DASH 9 but the CNW and SP were. Do you think that had something to do with it? I would have to say that EMD and UP struck up a sweetheart deal to keep EMD alive. One thing about the SD70M, I would love to have the contract to supply shock absorbers for the beast. What, 8 per unit I think? No wonder they ride nice. I guess if you want adheasion you get a rough ride.
