Test Engine in Calgary
This EMD locomotive is currently testing on Canadian Pacific.
It's been re-powered with an 8-cylinder 710 engine with about 2,000 horsepower. The cooling system has been completely
rebuilt. There is a central air system with a pressurized carbody. Electrical systems were updated, probably including a new alternator.
It appears to be an attempt by EMD to counter the genset builders in the lower horsepower, low-emissions
market.
