BNSF shoul upgrade all of their GE ES44AC's to GE ES60AC's. In order to do that, they need to remove
the original 4400 Horse Power GEVO-12 Engines,
and then they can put 6000 Horse Power GEVO-16 Engines to all BNSF AC GE GEVO Diesel Loomotive Units.

GE has 4 GE GEVO Types: The GE ES40DC, The GE ES44DC, The GE ES44AC, And The GE ES44C4.
The First 3 GE GEVO Types came out in 2005, while the Fouth GEVO Type came out in 2009, and there's
the possibilty of GE inventin a Fifth GE GEVO Type in 2013, called the GE ES60AC.
The GE ES60AC will still have the original large rear wings like the First 4 GE GEVO Types, but
it will have a longr frame and that it will use a GE GEVO-16 Engine to the Locomotive Unit.
The GE ES60AC will possibly come out in 2013, since it took 4 years to built the GE ES44C4.
So it might take another 4 years from 2009 through 2013 to built the GE ES60AC's.
The GE ES60AC will replace the GE AC6000CW in GE's Range.
