This is different. Wonder what the circumstances were that day.

[@SantaFe126]

My recollection is that they used road power for a little while after they stopped using gensets on this job.

[@carlzipperman6689]

@@SantaFe126 Well thats news to me. Why did they decide to keep the Gens off the branch? Let me guess. They suck! I remember when Cruds and gp9s ruled the Torrance and El Segundo branches. Sure miss em.

[@SantaFe126]

Yes, my understanding is they stopped using the gensets because their performance was quite poor. Nowadays they use local power (but not gensets).

[@carlzipperman6689]

Gensets are shit compared to the SW1500s. UP should have kept them but caved to the "green locomotive" movement.

[@carlzipperman6689]

Have they continued to use sd60m/ sd70ms on the El Segundo since then?

[@robertroth4171]
