Also noted the GP20s may be replaced with MP15DCs in the near future.
So,we will be using GP20s.
There's a lot of info here to which we weren't privy when asked to make our choices. :o Basically, the choices were the SD24 or the GP20s, all 50 year-old locos.
And, with the prospect of MP15s in the offing, I still would've gone with the GP7s.Wayne
