You forgot to say something about the SDP-40F: Santa Fe fixed the problem with the trucks because they knew what was wrong with them

Thanks, I found that interesting.

See, I keep saying them Diesel-lectric thangs are newfangled, unproven and cantankerous. Steam is a proven technology. (https://largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-smile.gif)

Yes possibly I suppose but not exactly from what is documented. However Santa Fe traded a good bit for them locos and when you went to the now defunct ECLSTS at York you could possibly see some of the CF-7’s that Santa traded with Amtrash running as York Rail on the old Ma and PA line.

Here’s a rare Krauss Maffei ML 4000 diesel that was just restored and now runs on the Niles Canyon Railway near me.
