So they can still make it?? what is difrent about it?? did they strengthen the nose or something??

But if they got orders?? Would they have to make a new desing or would they use the same desing but make it meet crash test standards???

Does anyone know what a current model Diesel - EMD or GE - has as a base price? Granted, that is a bit vauge but just curious for a ballpark.

Thanks,

My guess would be somewhere in the neighborhood of $2 million. That’s cash, not financing, which would drive the cost up higher.

Funny. I can see a VP for motive power wandering into GE or EMD and getting hit up by a salesman… who promises a sweet deal on the latest GP or SD “after he talks to his manager…”

Hmpf…I’m really surprised that’s all, though that seems to be the norm. Not that $2 million isn’t allot of money, mind you, but I would have thought it would have been substantially more.

“Gimmie two!”
