Wounder what NS plans are for 2010 on new locomotives, any word?

Can you elaborate. Is there any news of this?
Thanks

Is it safe to assume that these will be GE-built GEVOs?

Thanks,

I thought NS didn't like AC units? What is the reason for this?

[NSDash9]

NS has fully embraced the use of AC traction and since there are plenty of DC traction units on the roster for applications where those are best suited, look for most future orders to be for AC units at this point.
