CN Rebuilt Power


 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

Received a message on Google yesterday that CN will be receiving 50 rebuilt Dash 9 units from Wabtec, Fort Worth.
Unit numbers will be 3300-3349. Upgraded technology, more pulling power, better fuel efficiency, reduced emissions and
cheaper than a new locomotive. 4500 HP.? Class "AC44C6M."
3300-3304 appear to be ready for delivery.
The Dash 9's were built 2000 or thereabouts.
