Over the past couple of weeks I had heard this rumor of the railroad getting for axle power from CSX and/or NS that would allow retirement fo the GP 18's, and 20's. If the railroads have power to spare, you still may just see something head that way. Althought it is interesting to note that whenever the NYSW has borrowed power in the past, its generally been from CSX. Never say never.... and if business is slow and the power can be spared, then who knows what may happen. Stay Tuned.It is strange that NYSW always get the power from CSX and never NS. Wondery why. And for business beeing slow, maybe that is the reason they "might" be getting some road power. I completely forgot about the gp20's beeing down for the count.
