	Anyone know how the SDP40F locomotives are doing on the Santa Fe?
According to the railfan press (CTC Board) these locomotives were purchased
from Amtrak and are now running on the Santa Fe in Southern California..
As far as I can tell none of them made it into the San Francisco Bay area yet.
	As for the Union Pacific, the Centennial locomotives are still running
on the old Western Pacific lines into Northern California.  Last night, 
WP Oakland yards offered UP6927 and a couple of General Electric U-boats as
some of the power lying around the diesel service racks..
	
	Rumour has it that the Southern Pacific SD45X's traded into EMD will
be converted into 710-engine testbeds ? anyone in the Chicago area to confirm
or deny this?
