Eastern Railroad Discussion > GP9 getting a lung transplantDate: 04/15/23 13:54 GP9 getting a lung transplant Author: sixaxlecentury I did not want to say heart, as the engine is good (and has already been replaced..). GLLX/West Michigan Railroads former GTW GP9 got a new main generator this past week. Neat to see under the hood..

Higher compressions engines are impressive, but they pound themselves to death. Date: 04/16/23 08:23 Re: GP9 getting a lung transplant Author: Jimmies Great picture.
