Does anyone know the history of these units, especially the SD9's? Thanks Jason Midyette |

Hi, From the sale notice it seems that these units are being disposed of because they don't have alignment control couplers. There is an interesting accident report on why such couplers are important at http://www.tsb.gc.ca/en/reports/rail/20 ... 2C0050.asp The report is good reading for those interested in proper train braking technique.
