I'm feeling chatty and was actually arsed to post tonight, hence the (relatively) large flood of replies. Apologies for any inconvenience.

In other news, one of my local shortlines just got some "new" power for their turn jobs: a trio of ex-UP SD60Ms. Built in late 1990/late 1991, these motors just might be the newest locomotives in the fleet. The Gensets built in 2007 don't count because Gensets suck and aren't real locomotives.

¨	K-POW 12/28/22(Wed)22:17:45 R No.5906 >>5909 Have you ever used an SD-38? They are so odd to me. Every one I've seen has also had its dynamics removed.

¨	Tex!S0C7KLz8n. 12/29/22(Thu)21:39:07 R No.5909 >>5910 >>5906 Can't say I have. DGNO seems to really like the SD40s for six axle power. We have six of them set up in three sets of paired units on our big turn jobs. Might be getting more this next year if corporate loves us enough.

¨	K-POW 12/30/22(Fri)02:37:37 R No.5910 >>5909 SD-38s are practically identical to SD-40s except they have the same engine as GP-38s. They are only rated at 2,000 HP. They are just sort of weird. They load up like SD-40s also. I've only ever seen them as EJE engines.
