Those ex-5400s just don't leave.

I remember back in middle of the last decade they were used for that purpose and we loathed them. But the rebuild has done much to improve them and now they are some of the nicer standard cab units NS has.

Those NS 6300s look more like an SD50 or 60 instead of SD/40.

3000 HP units rebuilt from SD50 cores. With the continued desecration of the SD60 fleet, the 40E's are some of the best looking locos on the NS roster. I wish there were more of them, and i wish they came to Indiana more often.
