Since CDOT just recently purchased 8 P40s that were once leased to them, I'm just wondering, will they replace the GP40-2Hs?

Although you can't see some types of pollution, the visible particulates coming out of the P40s are a lot worse than the GP40s. Both types of locos need some serious engine work and exhaust gas treatment to eliminate visible particulate emissions. That being said, I saw a GP-40-2H smoking it up in OSB a few weeks ago, it was a downright frigid day, so it must have been because of HEP for heating because the train wasn't moving. They have separate HEP engines, unlike F40's and P40's, right?The P40's are 4 stroke engines which after a rebuilt will comply with EPA tier 1 requirements, the NJT units hardly smoke,
