[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by kevarc</i> <br /><br />NS has issued guidelines on what unit can be mu'ed together. They want each consists to be like units. They do not what different HP engines together, mixed 4 and 6 axle units and AC & DC units together. <br /> <br />Chessie ran anything over Sandpatch, they would use GP's on coal drags down Sandpatch. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br /> <br /> Not true about NS. if it is then they don't go by these guidelines whatsoever. I live on 3 track mainline of NS, and have experianced a load of different combos of GEs and EMDs mu'ed together. Most common are Dash 9s or 8s with SD60s and 70s. Also, they like thier SD40-2s, and use them for helpers as well as front end primary power, which they usually will throw a D9 behind with a few other different locomotives. <br /> NS has only 16 AC units, which they keep from mainline duty and for what reason I don't know, they mostly use them for local and work trains, or branch coal service.
