lajry Wrote:...read recently that Santa Fe GPs were used on LAJ but they couldn't handle alot of their sharp curves like CF7s could....I did read similar things but still wonder how they do it today with GP60. Someone wrote in the West Coast Forum that the tracks have been improved over the last years to handle heavy units. A lot of track served industry is today without rails. I assume the former sharp curves are not in use anymore.
