I guess what's missing from some comprehension amongst some here is the simple fact that engines wear with time. You can get 40 years out of them, but the breakdowns increase in number after about 10 years or so and require more maintenance than when they were shiny. In passenger service, the last thing you want is a breakdown in revenue service. Not such a major thing to have to send out a rescue for a freight, after all ... loads of coal don't get all uppity if they get delayed a bit. :) |
