Don't worry, I didn't forget about how a well-maintained SD40 is your fave.
I had to find something to reply to Terry C about those SD40's, and that was the first thing to pop up.
What I don't get is the photo caption mentioning that the loco is heading for scrap. I don't think that's going to happen. These locomotives now belong to CN, they're going to have to put the IC's half-ass maintenance "jobs" to rest and start fixing these babies up their way. For starters, a complete rebuild at Paducah.
Rebuilt Prime mover, upgraded electrics (at least in the SD40's case), the works.
Of course, nobody quote me on this. This is just my two cents on the matter.
Also JG, I did a little Googling on the EW, and here's one particular site:
