Wow, they are retiring SD90macs?! Any reason?

 

Only the 6000 hp units. The sd9043's are staying.(basically SD70M's) The 6000 hp 90MAC's were a maintenance nightmare for UP,So down the road they go....

 

Yeah, notice they are starting to downrate their C60ACs too. Not sure if there is an engine swap or not just yet. These will essentially become C6043ACs now.
