Three axis trucks do not negotiate tight curves very well as they are found frequently serving industry. The power is no problem. BNSF runs two GP60 serving industry in the LA area. They are great to work on the ladder to do sorting in classification yard (e.g. SD38-2 at Colton).
However, you might find examples where they are used to do transfer jobs.
Sorry, I am afraid that is the wrong answer...
ps. You model is weathered so beautiful it has to find a job on your layout anyhow
