i am buying an engine but can’t decide bnsf sd70mac or up c44-9w
Hi, there! Is this a real dilemma for you? What are your issues, or better yet, what criteria would you set for the decision-making process. Once you know what criteria you want, in order of importance, and then rate each engine on that basis, a simple calculation will make the answer obvious.
Or, you could do what most of us do. One for Christmas, the other for a week or so later. [:-^]
Save yourself the trouble - buy steam! [:D]
Seriously, drop the UP - go BNSF. The UP (translation: Utterly Pathetic) constantly defies Congress and federal law by blocking and delaying Amtrak trains. (And yes, I’ve seen them do it.) Why should we subsidize them by even the miniscule amount of their license fees?
railroader,
Which specific manufacturers make these particular locomotives you’re interested in? Bottom line: Buy the best you can afford!

There is no decision to make - - -
UNION PACIFIC!!!
[:D]
When in doubt buy both, lol.
Pre-order both.
Buy the first engine that arrives.
Cancel the second engine order.
That way you can be assured of having at least ONE engine.
I’ve witnessed BNSF do it too. I like both railroads, although 30s-60s is the way to go, mainly STEAM.
BUY A CPR AC4400CW!!!
LOL
Doesn’t anyone get it? This guy is UPChuck. I’m serious. I noted that he mainly posts on weekends, When Bergie isn’t here. There was even that bogus thread about scratchbuilding a grain elevator. You should even check the writing style, because I found a match.
RAILROADERSTL IS UPCHUCK!!!
