Dominique De Champeaux General 58 instead of 38? Sorry but I seriously wonder about it when I'm looking at one of the shots above in my album! 7/11/2008 5:02:53 AM
Dominique De Champeaux General SDP40F, not a F45, do you mean this engine is rebuilt as a SD40-2 (prime mover, electrics, etc..)? 7/11/2008 5:05:11 AM
Scott Bruce General Dominique, SDP40f refers to a locomotive built for 10/24/2008 12:24:45 AM
Scott Bruce General Amtrak. It used the cowl body from the F45/FP45 locomotive on what was basically a SD40-2. I am not sure how long they were. They carried a lotof water for the steam generator and had several derailment incidents. It is speculated the water slotshed and caused the derailment. Antrak traded most of them on F40PHs. 10/24/2008 12:26:59 AM
