International Railroad Discussion > Pedro Is Vale retiring smaller enginesDate: 09/03/20 19:03 Pedro Is Vale retiring smaller engines Author: tomstp Pedro, In another post you say Vale wanted more ES44ACi engines. Are they wating to retire the smaller engines?

We do not have details about the new model for while. I imagine it will be full size ES44 since Vale mainline accept all kind of locomotives. zorz Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > I thought Vale was going with SD70ACe-BB's?
