Ok Thank you for your answer that's what I wanted to know

I just thought the SD75 was constructed to be competing with GE and its Dash9

Hmm, I was under the impression that the SD75 were CN liveried, so, how come the screenshots on RSC's website show them as BNSF, is it because they've bought a licence and therefore have to use it for every locomotive built in the future??

I can certainly add my thumbs up for a C30-7, or, a U-Boat, but, they were scrapped in the late 1980's weren't they, and I don't know if there are any routes freely available currently that we could use one in an authentic setting, unless one of you fine Gentleman can prove me wrong.

I am not going to complaine about them changing the release date, as many of you recall this is what they aleayse did over a year ago....and by not giving themselfs a specific deadline they produced more high quality models and routs using this type of deadline (sw1500, gp9 packs for an example). I think they learned from donner pass that meeting a deadline is not as important as the quality of what you are releasing! :)

ATSF and BNSF Order Numbers/Totals for EMD SD75M/SD75I power.

Probably the best roster list for BNSF motive power.
