Western Railroad Discussion > lite engines joint line heads up

10 MACs departed Denver 1420 south. To Barstow.

The beginning of the end for more SD70MACs.

What does Barstow do with them? Or are they just going out to be stored in the dry desert air? And again, I am amazed that Utah Railway sticks with their oddballs when serviceable more-standard units are being sidelined... === === = === JLH

Utah's mechanics know their beasts very well plus they supposedly got a real good deal from MK after they had to be reengined after the original engines couldn't handle it.
