Will the 4 CDOT P32's be included in this rebuild program?
  by DutchRailnut
 
yes,they are about last however, I believe the will keep same paint scheme.

Why do the rebuilt Genesis engines seem so much slower out of stations than ones that have not been rebuilt?
  by DutchRailnut
 
As has been explained the rebuilds are subject to more stringent EPA rules.
loading fast means polution and yes its annoying but the train still makes same schedule and on time.

Speeking of 226, it was in north white around 10 pm. Gp35 101 was on the south end, with 3 bomb cars, cab unit 6311. Mn 101 headed south with 226 trailing on north end.
