Virgil Fitzpatrick General I don't see this being an Amtrak Engine, unless it's for Chicago or somewhere like that. The AC units on the top (if my thinking is right) would be too high for clearance issues on the NEC or anywhere with overhead power. Although...I can be wrong 4/27/2010 2:23:12 PM
Jerry LaBoda General Spartan cabbed units with AC regularly ply NEC routes. With the AC it is still low enough to clear the wire. Much higher bi-level cars also are used by NJT and MARC without much problem. As far as it being a "Green Goat", no its a gen-set, likely to be rated at 1400 H.P. 4/27/2010 5:11:50 PM
