We just took delivery of our 2006 International Eagle with an ISX motor.
Beautiful and smooth power. I will let you know how good of a choice it is in about a year.

We are going to use it to train new drivers with 140,000 lb Super Trains. It still will take some work to get it going, but it is our new direction and I want to make sure it is done right so we can get the effect out of we want.

Wrecks on the hill... ? I also wanted your opinion on the 1.8 meter high signal light rule that we have, not allowed over 1.8, 5.5 ft... every tractor around here is (non compliant) THESE are the only lights visible in weather? Idiots! ie. Headache racks... Frieght shakers come with, on the mirrors...

CAT SUCKS (then they blow up). I agree as well, but to clarify... 1. Cat's acert engines ARE compliant (only "bridge engines" paid fines). Also, CAT's DPF is sericeable as well.
