MLW Monday FPA-4 units
Author: kgmontreal

Being presently in California the best I can offer for MLW Monday are the Napa Wine Train FPA-4 units shot today at Napa and St Helena.  Horror of horrors the #73 has lost its MLW 251 engine, replaced by a terrible sounding natural gas prime mover.  Oh, the shame!

For such a short route, they could probably get away with a small natural gas fuel supply in the carbody. And, they can refuel every night.

73 has an EMD 645 non-turbo engine with spark ignition for the natural gas (carried in a large cylinder inside the "fuel tank"). The 12-251C is long gone.
