    Chessie;
    I just toured those sites of CSX Paint Schemes and it's a blast! Especially seeing how many ex Conrail engines now in Bright Future paint. Great job on these sites! :D :D :D Mike

    Harold,
    Thanks for the links, they are very good. Now maybe I can identify some of the stuff that flies by the house at 50mph [​IMG]

    By the way, what does the final letter on the newer EMD locos mean? Example: SD-60, SD-60I, SD-60M, etc.?

    Thanks, Hank

    M=Safety cab (wider nose for increased crew safety).
    I=Isolated cab (whisper cab, it is quieter than the M).
    AC=AC traction motors (other than standard DC, usually seen as MAC with a safety cab).

    Thanks Corey,
    The isolated (I) cab sounds like a great idea, especially with 6000HP at Run-8 :eek: I bet DaveCN would love to drive one of them :D
    Is GE making an isolated cab?
