[edit] Unsourced paragraph

I have removed the following unsourced paragraph:

The EMD F59PH suffers from excessive wax build-up on the upper cooling fans. The increased use of sweet high sulpher diesel leads to large deposits that require caution when removed. The engine exhaust design did not take into account the common use of rattan in evaporative cooling pads and thus the deposit of wax was accelerated. EMD has subcontracted an Iranian/Turkish firm to remove the sweet wax from the rattan baskets and remarket the by-products.

Please find a source for this (and some clarification might be nice too). Matthew Brown (Morven) (T:C) 00:39, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
