Relating to this batch of SD40s, all were upgraded to -2 electricals and had
Q-Tron installed. Not knowing anything about the mechanical/electrical
workings of locomotives, I ask this dumb question. Since the Q-Tron device
improved the c.t.e. to 82,500 lbs. from 70,000 lbs., are the units to be
sold with the device installed or is it readily uninstalled for use on other
SD40-2s?
Also while the previous SD40-2s, Bill noted as being sold, were units
"stored unserviceable", these twelve were "stored serviceable", is the
selection of units for sale based on age? I know the CPR is sensitive to the
age of the fleet, its good PR when selling your service.
