Its economical that makes sense i knew Pan Am had to be making money one way or another. On the topic of Pan am 6axles what happened to their fleet of SD-45's. I think most were sold in the 90's, but if thats true why did they keep the 681 in service?

Of the three 6 axles PAR has left, the two oldest models have alot of unique parts and there is simply no spares. The 690 simply has an electrical issue that they either 1, cannot figure out or 2, do not have the parts to repair it. It produces no real power over 10MPH.
