I've noticed lately that the CW60ACs (or CW44-6s w/e) have been sort of relegated so to speak to intermodals trains only. I don't see them on manifests anymore. Any reason for these big units being cast away on relatively light trains?

that is what they were bought for...
high speed intermodal service
they were originally used for that too, until they started failing and were de-rated to 4400, then they were put on any junk manifest or whatever
now that they are back to 6000hp, they are going back to their intended duty
