Some of the electrical components were re-used from the original units, I was
told, and it kept the ratings down to 2,000 hp. DJE

Santa Fe had E8m (A and B units) These were had the suffice "m" as the
Santa Fe traded in other units to get them rebuilt to E8A and E8Bs.

All,
In the latest issue of Classic Trains is a photo that really took me by
surprise. It was a MASSIVE Union Pacific passenger train with an A B B B A
set of E8. (UP was the only buyer of E8 B units to the best of my knowledge)
Anyway - this train went to the horizon. It was running on the **FIRST** day
of Amtrak's creation! I thought train passenger travel was down at that
time. I doubt U P would have run THIS train with 3 people on it!
Pretty impressive I tell ya..
Thank You,
