Fred Stuckmann General Wow, that's an oddball. 6/19/2012 6:22:36 PM
Steve Young General It has a prime mover, hence it moves under its own power, so it's not a slug. It's an S-3 or S-4 which has been repowered with a Cummins or Detroit genset, mounted in the space where the cooling system used to be. a common modification, many of which were carried out by GE. 1/1/2021 6:29:45 PM
