Derek, as always I enjoy your in put. As I said earlier, I am an EMD fan also but do appreciate all locomotives. As an observation to the DASH 9 trucks, they seem to have gone through several design changes and the ones with only two shocks per truck are the current ones. If you notice, the shocks are canted roughly 45 degrees which to me means that they are trying to control movement from side to side. This adds to your observation of the side to side movement. Why they only have two I do not know. The first DASH 9 trucks had 4 shocks but were not canted. And as for the BNSF in love with the 70 MAC, I wonder why the last AC power ordered by them was GE?
