I work on the Needles Sub (California) for BNSF as a conductor,..we on the BNSF TransCon see many of the 7600 & 7700 numbered power with the new logo since many are the new es44ac units for emission standards for the L.A. Basin and the ports at L.A. & Long Beach......We go 70 MPH across the desert on double mains in the basin,20 to 30mph up the hill to Goffs,then again at Ash Hill,,..100 trains a day between Needles & Barstow,California...Come see REAL railroading...To the guy hung up on CSX... THEY ARE NASTY LOCOS,NOT MAINTAINED,.A POOR EXCUSE FOR POWER WHEN IN OUR CONSIST...We hate having those awful EASTERN units(CSX & NS ) in our trains...Heaven forbid ,if one is on the point !!!...Really...CSX & NS units are a western railroad crewmans nightmare..They are equiped MUCH cheaper in the cab,horrible seats,no leg room due to bolted down,non sliding seats....Take pictures of a "Mack" Garbage truck,or a CSX OR NS unit..they are ALL the same <br /> By the way,we M.U. units together....There is NO SUCH THING AS A " LASH UP " on the railroad..... <br /> Hope this helps Rich...Needles,California <br />
