Re: Why no SD75s on UP?

I've been to Crawford Hill in Nebraska on the BNSF twice in the last 9 mos. The helper sets are a combination of ex ATSF SD75s and ex BN SD60Ms.
They seem to be soldiering on creeping up the hill in run 8 at 10mph or less multiple times a day.
Interesting to see DC traction still performing reliably in this extremely demanding duty.
