EMD Geeps

Do any Class 1's own one of EMD's new (I guess) Geep? Do any railroads own these other than CEFX Leasing?http://www.gmemd.com/en/locomotive/switcher/gp15d/http://www.gmemd.com/en/locomotive/switcher/gp20d/Just wondering, Thanks for any help-Dave

Amtrak recently bought a few GP15Ds, if I am not mistaken..

Leiv Eiriksson was first - Christoffer Columbus used a Viking map!

I highly doubt it, I haven't heard anything on any of the CSX stuff I belong to.......the only new power I've heard of are those new fangled things called "SD70MACe's". I've already gave them the nickname "Mace Machines" "Mace" after the pronounciation of "MACe" at the end of the "SD70" and the fact that you felt like you've used mace on your eyes after you've seen it!!!-Jeffrey

Huh, I coulda swore on a stack of TRAINS Magazines it was called the "SD70ACe", not the "SD70MACe". Well, whatever. Thats CSX's deal. I just called them "ACEs".

Yeah they're calling them SD70ACes, but I don't get it. It is an M, so why not call it that?It's kinda like how CSX calls their SD70MACs "SD70ACs". M designating wide nose.....they are, so why not call them that?-Jeffrey

They're probably called "ACEs" so that they don't make the word "MACe" in the locomotive model. That would be like BNSF and CSX 666. It might make RRs uncomfortable or whatnot.Joe LeMay

I don't think EMD will quit making locos, but, according to some article in Trains GM may be looking to sell it off.

Thats thought has been around for a while, GM and EMD both deny it.-Dave
