Oh I see...

NS has cheap power?!:hehe:
Have you seen a CSX Geep lately?!
Anyway,
I see what you mean by "Whatever we can afford".
My railroad was always penny pinching until 2005.
That's when we got a precious new contract with the United States Department of Defense, running a train between Oak Ridge, Tennessee and Ft. Campbell on the Tennessee/Kentucky border.
Don't ask me what we're hauling...we don't even know!:hehe:
Of course all that is fictional, but I've always thought it to be a rational plan.
We get paid large sums of money for this contract, do that's how we got those ES44AC Hybrids I told you about.

But we've always strived to keep our older power in good order, I am a firm believer in the ol' GP11's.
Good to see some SD45's in operation there, Red.
Cheers,
Woody:wave:
