Hello everybody,
went out to Alberta and discovered that most of the freights going into Edmonton usually have an AC4400 and a newer ES44AC. Then while being in a hobby shop I picked up a great magazine called “Branchline”. It deals quite extensively with the Canadian Railroads be it Class 1 or Via or Regional Branch lines. In it was an article that mentioned Kathryn McQuade who is CPR’s operating officer as stating that they are having a lot of issues with the last 40 GE locomotives that they bought.
My question is do any other railroads have problems with their new GE’s? Is that the reason CPR is running the old and new AC’s together, reliability reasons?
Thank you
Frank
