Eastern Railroad Discussion > Cummins-powered unit in INDR

I understand that Indiana Rail Road has CELX 1919, a former UP SD9043MAC which had been re-engined with a Cummins QSK-95 prime mover.
Does this unit operate by itself, or is it placed in consists with other locomotives?  What kind of service is it used in?  I believe this is the first application of a Cummins prime mover.  Cummins had made auxiliary engines in the FL-9s for operating head-end power in the past.

Except for a couple of shots that surfaced while this unit was in transit to Indiana, I can't recall having seen much coverage recently. Is it running at all?

CECX 1919

Was built at Sygnet in Washington state, they closed down, towed the loco to Brookville in Ohio.
Last its been seen since.

Here's the original thread.

It is a former SD90MAC-H 6000hp locomotive, not a SD9043MAC.

Still at Brookville Locomotive which is in Brookville PA north east of Pittsburg , they have the syterms all installed and have begun some load testing butit not where it can be photographed they are hoping to have it out of the shop shipping to INRD soon
