    Sad to see another pair of Espee units get patched....

    The WP SD40-2's threw me for a minute there--WP never owned 6-axle power, right? Apparently, the egines were renumbered a WP number, to separate them out for rebuiling into green goats!

    Yes, they use the WP markings so they can clear that number slot for something else.

    Not sure Greg. I havn't heard any rumors about them yet. The six axles are starting to show up in dead lines or storage areas more and more.

    Yeah the ex-CNW units especially. I did see a couple of the 9200's this week end. Work trains are starting to get the early 4000's now along with the SD60M's. The SD40-2 is getting to be an endangered species.
