More 2005 Orders

<font size=4>2005 Orders</font>

 

Your guess is as good as mine .

 

Great, just what I need, another type to keep track of.

Thanks for the latest info Jim. Guess I better plug these numbers into my roster.

Can't wait to see the centercab though!!!!!

 

Looks like EMD got a hefty order there! Why does UP call their GE units C45's; are they actually 4500 hp units?

Harold

 

The C45s are only 4400Hp. UP just wanted to distinguish the difference from the C44ACs.

 

That's a good enough reason for me.

For your review and just for conversion, below is an overview of the North American diesel locomotive orders for 2005 placed with GE and EMD. If there is any additions or corrections, please post.

Kansas City Southern
SD70ACe (30) Units

Norfolk Southern
SD70M-2 (52) Units
ES40DC (50) Units The ES40DC (Evolution Series 4000 hp DC transmission) replaces the former Dash 9-40CW model in GE's range and, like the former model, has been delivered only to Norfolk Southern.

Union Pacific
SD70ACe (115) Units, assigned road numbers 8309-8423
ES44AC (200) Units The ES44AC (Evolution Series 4400 hp AC transmission) replaces the former AC4400CW model in GE's range. These locomotives have been ordered by both the Union Pacific Railroad (who refers to these locomotives as the C45ACCTE, the CTE stands for Controlled Tractive Effort) and the BNSF, and deliveries to both are ongoing as of 2005.

Canadian National
ES44DC (50) Units
SD70M-2 (25) units

Montana Rail Link
SD70ACe (16) Units, assigned road numbers 4300-4315

BNSF
ES44DC (150) Units, assigned road numbers 7650-7799
ES44AC (50) Units, assigned road numbers 5748-5797
BNSF is still interested in testing EMD's SD70ACe's after EMD installs distributed power on several units to allow BNSF to test them in DP coal service.

CSX
ES44DC (100) Units

You can see an image of what the expect the TES to look like here. I think it looks nice.

Correct my math, but does this mean GE outsold GM/EMD 4:1?

 

Wow, the centercab does somewhat resemble the ALCo C415.

 

That's exactly what I was thinking, but I couldn't remember the exact model #; I knew it was an Alco!

Harold

 

It seems that it's been that way (or similar) for many years now.
