Why did the UP and CPR only order the SD90/43MAC and no SD80MACs?

In the July 2006 issue of TRAINS there is an article about Norfolk Southern having all the new Diesel-Electric Locomotives rated at only 4000 Horsepower. The point behind this is reduced maintenance for the same amount of tractive effort on the rails. <br /> <br />If the people at GE and EMD and M-K had closely paid attention to the practices of the Norfolk Southern power management team the over hyped 1990's High-Horsepower war would have been replaced with a more realistic high-traction war. <br /> <br />Andrew Falconer
