those sd70 that the ns bought was from what the con-rail order before the merger. that is what the officials told us 2 years ago. they also are trouble with the electronics. i have not had a sd70 in the lead with electronic brakes they are tagged "b" unit only as power. the 26l are in the lead but not the elec brakes. ive heard rumors about the ns getting up units but nothing in writing from the top.

Derek, John Bromley(UPRRPR) has a post on trainorders that says UP is looking into the wings on equipment and other things. I think the $7.00 is only one time deal but you can look at the posts you just can't post info.
