Thanks Mr Barber! Great answer as always! If you have a moment, could you 
comment on two other EMD-related questions?

First, did EMD come up with the re-engine program for units from other builders 
to keep La Grange busy, or was that something which started by the roads 
themselves?

Second, what sort of price per unit were the Q and BN paying for SD45s and 
SD40-2s when new? I was surprised by some BN annual reports from the mid-1970s 
that, despite the booming coal traffic, unit purchases per year from EMD were 
ranging in the twenty-five to fifty area. (Presume BN was spending the money on 
physical plant rather than motive power as it tried to keep up with demand.)
