I see BNSF is looking to order 170 Locomotives, does anyone now when they may put out the bid on these ? It is 2nd Q already!
BNSF currently expects to spend about $2.1 billion for track, signal systems, structures, and freight cars, and to upgrade technologies, including the unfunded mandate for Positive Train Control approved by Congress in late 2008. BNSF anticipates also acquiring approximately 170 locomotives at a cost of about $320 million.
