Loco costs was:[CBQ] Re: BN GP 20s

While not the Q, IIRC, the Rock Island paid $18 million for 18 U30Cs and 10 SD40-2s in 1974. The 1974 annual report had a paragraph about the new power being delivered.

 

Thanks!

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.)
