Will NS get any more ET44AC engines ?
Author: AC6000CW_Fan

NS currently owns 80 ET44AC, but does NS like them that they may want to buy more Locomotives ?

Another question to ask NS itself.

They will get more GE's, probably sooner than later with the increased traffic levels that NS has been experiencing.

I think the REAL question is can we expect more SD70ACUs... UP and CP both have plenty of SD90s uselessly sitting around that Juniata could revive! I'd rather see 200 more of them than more dull-as-snot ET44ACs...

Err no, the question was about ET44ACs.

I hope not. No more GE's.

They should get more second hand items

I like the latest Gevo engines a lot but too many of them out there. I think CSX bought 500 of them in the last few years. I would prefer more SD70ACu rebuilds and SD33eco rebuilds and they probably cost half of a new engine. I thought NS was rebuilding all of their old GE's into AC44C6M engines in the 4000 series and maybe 500 of these to be done in the future.
