Due to the fact that use of the DDA40X or the E units
would be an admission that there was life before the
great and all-powerful ego took over, it will never
happen.
Which explains why the last 8+ years have been devoted
to erasing the evidence that anything existed prior to
2011. Park the heritage diesels, send the SW10 to scrap,
park 3985 and cannibalize it, give away the restored
caboose, destroy the high-speed boxcar, eliminate the
souvenir program, get rid of all people associated with
pre-2011 achievements and constantly bad-mouth and blame
them, get rid of the logo and so on and so on and so on.
The logical thing to do when they first brought 4014 back
to Cheyenne would have been to do that chore with the 6936
instead of 2 SD70Ms. The biggest of both steam and diesel
together for the first time ever. The use 6936 as the pusher
for the same reasons.
But, Noooooooo.
