Maybe the cycle for heavy maintenance, and the short life of the RR makes it more economical to get new GE now and sell in 4 years. In the mean time you avoid maintenance of the overheard, power distribution system and the power generation (related to the rr) and also have a high residual value in the locos when they are due for sale.
