The whole Bandit GP40/Soo GP38-2 combo was pretty standard for a long while. Never heard why SOO decided to do that. They pretty much match up nealry all the GP40's like that. Do remeber seeing the occasional Bandit GP38-2/SOO GP40, but nealry as often. It's not like SOO was regualrly teaming their own 40 with the 38's before the merger. never heard the reasoning why they decided to do that.
@@WAL_DC-6B I wasn't talking about the paint, i was talking about the power combo of MLWK GP40's with Soo GP38's, and the occasional Soo GP40 with MLWK GP38's. This was farily common thing post merger SOO did for their locals. That wasn't thing that either road did as regular thing before the merger, not sure what their reasoning was after. It wasn't an occasional thing that just happened, it was fairly common and so their was a conscious decision to do so. Just never heard what that reasoning was.
