  • add another engine for crying out loud

  • These engines can run in "notch" 8 all day long. Just make sure the radiators are nice & clean. The RPM's are NOT hard on them at all. . High amperage is what kills DC loco's. These engines can take 4 min. of continuous 1500 amps. Thats it. If you stay in it any longer, you're going to be burning up traction motors, not to mention the valley will be on fire. I run these motors every day at work (short line) & im proud to say I run geep 9's.

  • 1642 is a GP9u

  • @claypiesexygod it is GP9 cuz it is low hooded which is typical for GP7 but Canadian Pacific only bought GP9's

  • GP9: Moves, but barely.

    GE: Cries, blows its turbocharger up, then asks for another string of locomotives to help move it...

    I love my old school GE sound/power, but nothing beats an EMD at notch 8.

  • @claypiesexygod

    It is a GP9. Low nose GP9.

  • Ok, so it's working hard, but it is lifting the cars.

  • @oubliettehoggle I just wanted to add that it is a GP-9R for rebuild. The rebuild causes it to be an open front.

  • Pull baby PULL!!!!!

  • that sounds like how a train would start up on trainz 2006.
