[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by THayman [quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by macguy I must be one of the only ones, but I never pronounce the dash in SD40-2. I always just say, "There goes an SD40 .. two." I don't know how I picked that up, but I just figure they were such common power at one time, everyone knows what I'm talking about, as there weren't any SD42s made. [/quote] Slight problem with that is that it starts to sound like you're talking about a loco classified SD42, instead of SD40-2. I don't know if such a loco exists, but it is confusing either way. [/quote] Actually, there were SD42's. BNSF at one time had the SD42G (SD40-2 leased from GATX), SD42L (SD40-2 with LARS [Locomotive Analysis and Reporting System]), and SD42P (SD40-2 slug mother). I believe these units came from BN. As for GE, I've always said it C 40 Dash 8 W, or C 44 Dash 9 W, and for the AC units I say C44AC instead of AC4400CW.
