7/21/12: A trio of SD9043AC's head out of Proviso Yard on a manifest. Super Power I call these units...They look badass but BBM says they suck. At least they look cooler than C44-9WS!
That's an accurate statement from Matt.. Have you ever seen these try to get a really heavy train going from a dead stop? They slip their wheels all the time!
Nonetheless, nice catch and a rare one at that. Haven't seen a trio of 9043s pulling a train in the lead for a long time.
How long was their train? In the trains I've seen come through here with a couple of them.. The train is short and if they do have a longer one they usually stick some GE's with them to help with lug.
