<font size="4">Are there any insiders at EMD, UP, and CPR who know why the Union Pacific and Canadian Pacific ordered only the SD90/43MAC and none of the 5000 Horse Power SD80MACs? <br /> <br />From all the stories I have read the SD80MAC was more useful at generating horsepower direct from the factory than the "waiting to be upgraded" SD90/43MAC Locomotives. <br /> <br />Why was the Chicago & North Western order for 35 of the SD80MAC Locomotives cancelled in 1995? It sure seems that the Union Pacific can use every single unit of horse power available. <br /> <br />Andrew Falconer</font id="size4">
