Personally, the 710ECO is nothing more than a beefed up 567 to me. Just rebuilt to meet EPA PC people bullcrap standards. what'd i'd love to do is get a few of those monster C636s over there in Cohocton up and going to the WNYP moving a coal train, and spitting black smoke, just to piss off those EPA people. Its so stupid anyway. And the 710ECO may be a threat, but if F-M can find a way to fiddle with the V6 251's to put out 3k HP, i highly doubt that older units like RS3s and what not would be on their way out. Especially with many of these shortlines, that still use ALCos, for power to switch to those 710ECO units would be a task no doubt met with a big rejection.
