I sure hope they are being nice to the 19. I still have bad memories of bucking snow with her in the GBart era. That exercise resulted in 3 burned up traction motors.

19 - and any GE 44 tonner - doesn't have traction motor blowers to cool the motors in high amperage conditions.

I wonder how much snow that had to deal with get that far. I imagine the drifts just west of Osier, Long Creek and MP 323 were impressive.
