I heard these things aren't very popular with the train crews.

If your talking about the SD70ACe's, and the train crews not liking them, why not. They are one of my favorite engines.

The crews truly do hate them. The cabs vibrate like there's no tomorrow, they're just as loud as a standard cab unit (the ear-piercing horns don't help matters), the cab is rather small in terms of height (if you're 6' or even a little under, your head is hitting the ceiling), and they've always been a maintenance nightmare. As much as us railfans are sick of them, everybody with CSX I've spoken with says they would take an ES44DC over an SD70ACe any day of the week.
