Agreed - but more than that we need an Alco DH-643 C-C diesel-hydraulic that did what the Krauss-Maffei hydraulics couldn't. Nickname: "Alcohaulic".

Obviously, not by much.  The KM's lasted 7 years on the SP, the DH643's lasted 8.  All succumbed to maintenance issues.  Neither was used system wide.
