The railroads have a lot of rebuild fodder out there. I think that 38's will be around for a long time, heck you can deturbo a 40 and make a good switcher. And with Boise and LTE and the like you have the know how if the railroads get out of the major rebuild business, and they seem to want to. The future is six axle power for the road and rebuild for everything else. I used to get wide cab on the locals and boy did you feel special with a $2.5 million dollar Dash-9 with one boxcar. Talk about cost savings:-)
