My 2 cents worth.
I've lost track but are any of the SDP40F's that went to Santa Fe still around?
For all the this & that Amtrak's 1st locomotive(even if illfated) should be noteworthy.
Also when they start to get replaced what about AEM-7's
U34ch's fm NJ Transit.
also for the oddity file CF-7's by Santa Fe.(yea I know A REBUILD)
