While US freight railroads did experiment with horsepower ratings of 6000 in the mid ‘90's on diesel electric locomotives, all locomotives today have settled in at about 4500 horsepower. Those 6000 HP monsters have either been retired, exported or derated to 4500 horsepower.

You have it the other way around, friend.

Michigan takes parts of everyone else. Started to take Toledo, OH — realized gross, it’s part of Ohio, somehow got the UP and all of its beauty instead; Ohio gets to keep Ohio AND screws over Wisconsin.

He got caught trying to sell his Ford GT.

He’s balding and his name is Nair? I see a lucrative endorsement deal in his future.
