Dan [8D] I left my tape "UP's Elegant E Units" at the farm. So I am winging it from memory, which isn't a good thing for me to do. lol I got the idea from watching the tape about them that both UP and VMF rebuilt the E 9s. I imagine VMF did the engine work. On the tape, Steve Lee talks about having to send them back for some warrenty work. If I remember right they were having problems with overheating. But I don't want to stick my foot in my mouth too far here. I believe the units were completely rewired, but not sure which one was responsible for that. The power car you memtioned is used with the 844 and 3985 also. I don't know if there is more than one power car or not. I have seen a power car when either of these engines were here. As far as a steam generator, even VIA has discountinued using steam as heat. Some private cars might still use steam heat but would have their own source for it. Someone else will have to tackle the other questions. I don't know if Ed has been in these units or not. I do think they have been to Houston. They were here in North Little Rock and I tried to catch them at Jacksonville but managed to miss them. (Just my luck.)
