Funny that they used the genset turd as the kicker in the consist. With the SD40s they usually used one of the dynamic equipped GP9 rebuilds and after those were gone, one of the GP40s if they used 3 units.

From the sound, they appear to be in run 8. They appear to control their wheelslip better than the SD40s which usually would take on the hill in run 5-7 elsewhile they would slip like the dickens and stall, still doubling the hill.

Wonder what the "out" clause is on those units.

Maybe trade those 2 to BNSF for some clapped out Grinstein 70MACs? In jest i assure you. (trolls troll away)
