The oldest road engine diesels are the P32-8s, unless you want to count the few Geeps Amtrak bought from GO that I think are still HEP equipped and capable of hauling passenger trains in revenue service- although its probably been many years since it has happened.I'm guessing "the oldest" road engines are the AEM7s ... but I'm guessing that's not what they're hoping to build, if they're looking at a max-speed of "124". I, for one, will not tolerate losing that 1 mph!The oldest. Says so right there!Remind me which 54 locomotives we're talking about replacing?
Probably safe to assume it's road engines up for replacement, not the pretty fair number of REALLY old yard switchers around.
If it's safe to assume they mean "the oldest" road engine diesels ... then what are those?
The P40s are in the process of being refurbed. And the P42s are still fairly new. All of them are newer then the AEM-7s- excluding the Geeps.
