25 years is damn good for a passenger diesel

Which standard are you using? Plenty of Geeps out there well into their 40s (and the F40PH shares a great deal of its design with the GP40). Most E-units got into their late 30s. Then again, Amtrak also junked their Geeps prematurely.

before them the SDP40Fs were disasters as they had problems staying on the rail

This I never really understood. After all, the SD40-2 stayed on the rails just fine. The steam-heat generator could not have been to blame all by itself. I also never heard about the other C-C diesel that Amtrak had (the P30CH) having such problems.
