It'll be interesting to see how much money goes into repowering a half-century old locomotive, with unproven (non railroad) prime mover.
Wouldn't it be cheaper and easier to just scrap the entire white elephant fleet and buy a half-dozen used Geeps, MP-15's , Sw1500's, or F40PH locomotives from the aftermarket like LTEX or Sterling? Isn't it easier on the shop mechanics to have one universal fleet of diesel locomotives with one set of parts?
