@jayfine01 Hush your mouth...This is a GM EMD ...General Motors Electro Motive Division
-

@ANDREWAMTRAK: It's not us who need to get over it; we didn't make and post a shitty video.

the was a pretty smooth start up after sitting for a year

@jayfine01 No, this is an EMD F9 with a Naturally Aspirated 16 - 567 prime mover....meaning it's a (V) 16 cylinder with 567 cubic inches per cylinder, which yields a total cylinder displacement of 9,072 cubic inches.
All the EMD prime movers are 2 cycle design....except for the H series which is a 4 cycle (like ALCO's were)
that EMD had intended to replace the 2cycle...but couldn't meet the tier 2 pollution specs. EMD is now owned by Caterpillar since Dec.2010

I've heard that this unit was a back-up locomotive for the filming of the movie "Runaway Train". Do you know anything about this?

@ANDREWAMTRAK The F-Unit in the 4-engine consist was ARR 1500, so I know it can't be that one. I read something about filming on the Butte Anaconda & Pacific.

@trmania Nope the engine was re painted and re numbered just for the movie.
