Hated
This photo provides a pretty good illustration of why the GCFX "grey ghost" leasers were hated during their tenure on the CN. They came on the scene while there were plenty of great looking SD45s in operation. One quickly got the impression that any slight malfunction in a SD45 would sideline it and a GCFX would replace it. Eventually the last of the '45s were killed off. The GCFXs didn't seem to last too much longer once the "good" power was gone, but the damage was done, and some colorful lashups muted by the grey plague. March 8, 2003.
