Certainly dont build them like that anymore, classic EMD's last for ever. They have been saying it's times almost up for quite a few years, I think it's earmarked for preservation.

One night we had an engine failure with an old SD40-2 that sewed things up.  As part of looking into the incident I looked up the mechanical history of the locomotive and noticed it was built in 1972.  On a whim, I polled all my dispatchers and the engine was older than all the dispatchers I had working for me that night.
