Western Railroad Discussion > Strange leaving the test CenterDate: 07/22/13 20:00 Strange leaving the test Center Author: SD45X After a heads up I blasted out to the test center to see what was on hand.
The NS RPE4U 956 and NS 2121 RP14BD behind the UP ACe was strange. The four EMDX units, 1209/1210/1208/1206 all have six traction motors. No P4s here. Local should get the string early am tomorrow. To leave. Forgot the fresh painted TTX well cars too boot. Avondale CO. East of Pueblo,CO. Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 07/23/13 07:41 by SD45X.

The other is a 6 axle slug for a Sd40-2 Both have remote control. Posted from Android Date: 07/22/13 21:19 Re: Strange leaving the test Center Author: 3rdswitch Quite a bunch of "stuff" there, looks like both NS units are four axle to me?

NS is the home of many Frankenbeasts. Like Conrail was.... Date: 07/22/13 23:11 Re: Strange leaving the test Center Author: NSDash9 NS 956 is a 4-axle RP-E4Y class slug rebuilt from a former N&W GP9, which can be mated to NS EMD MP15DC or MP15E master units.
