I'd go with the 70M's also, if I just had to base it on UP's order I wouldn't go with them 'cause they are too new, but SP had 25 of them that they got in '94, so UP had some experience ratings with them and saw that they are good units, hence the order. SD60's are good units as well, and one nobody mentioned yet, it's cousing the GP60's. 3 or 4 of these little dynamo's on a stack train is a good combination, you can really haul some @$$. their main rap is they are slippery when pulling hard at low speed, but that isn't what they were designed for, on stacks they are excellent. as for GE's as far as I'm concerned the only decent GE is a dead GE, but the C44-9W's were sort of o.k. especially when they had a cracked injector (smoke like an old ALCO!!).
