The ECO is seen as a remanufactured locomotive, and for this purpose, is not considered new since they recycle parts. Or I should say remanufactured locomotives, not rebuilds.

If the current buying pattern holds, and with EHH out, the only thing coming from Indiana will be the ECO's. You might see an order for the ET44AC. But that depends. If they want to get rid of the AC4400CW's from 1995, then they'll replace it with the ET44AC. CP apparently is in a love affair with GE. They could test the ACe-T4 model, but don't expect any orders since they really haven't ordered from EMD since 1999. Rebuilds don't count. I'm talking new.

Same goes for the SD90's. This KCS paint has a nice snappy look to it also. I'm not up on CP operations, have they purchased any new GM products since the SD90 fiasco?
