I've heard little positive about them (CP 7000's), lots of dead 7000's on the Galt and Belleville Subs, but if they've solved the issues that's good to hear. The need the variety... for the foamers at least.
The Railwire is not your personal army.
Guys hate them, but they hated them when they were 9100s too. They're comfortable and pull like crazy so I don't have many issues with them. As long as I don't have to switch with them, they are very slow to load...
They are decent road power, they just suck for switching, but to be fair the 8500s suck for switching too.
@lock4244 The SD40s are definitely preferred up here, not sure I know anyone who ever worked with the big MsRed Deer was pretty far from their stomping grounds later then the early 70s.It would be interesting to hear how they handled.
It's because they were running over the remains of The Standard Railroad of the World instead of wagon trails over permafrost.
Possibly correct, but may have been because they were too busy stoking the fire to notice the ride (Attachment Link) Thanks Max!
That's on of them new high-bread locomotives, runs on either diesel or coal Scott
Has anyone tried, seriously, to run a steam loco on diesel?
