But neither a K-27 or K-28 can act as motive power on its own which means paying an extra crew which I think is where most is going. If the railroad ridership does get in the habit of doubleheaders being a normal thing than I can see the K-28 being useful. Another locomotive saving wear and tear on the K-36 locomotives which means less downtime for the big pullers. A K-28 would be more helpful than no locomotive at all, but still not as useful as a K-37. But, the crazy thing is that we'll have as many K-37 locomotives in operation as we do K-28 locomotives and neither K-37 is on the C&TSRR.
