Maybe I'm alone on this but I prefer the simplified exhaust stack design compared to the unrebuilt RS units. It's too bad CN didn't save more of these. I'm no CN engineer, but I'd imagine they'd be easier to switch with than that the GP9u/RM's. I'm guessing the low HP, limiting their mainline capabilities, did them in.
