[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by drailed1999</i> <br /><br />Ok here we go since I serviced them after Railfair 99 in Sacramento. The UP E-units have one 16-645 each, mounted centrally in the carbody. None of them have steam generators or HEP. Like what was said earlier, they essecentually (sp) a GP-38. They have also been upgraded from 24L to 26L air brakes. And they have a standard GP-SD style control stand too. If I ever service one of them again it will be too soon. Engine temp. was 180 degrees and outside temp was 103. I lost about 10 pounds while I was changing the fuel and oil filters and also cleaning out the carbon traps. It was a little warm in there !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <br />[/quote] <br /> <br /> <br />Marty [:)] <br /> <br />You might not believe this but . . . . when I posted and talked about the E units being in Houston and Ed possibly seeing them, I almost included you thinking that maybe you had seen them. But I just wasn't too sure about that and didn't say anything. Thanks for letting us know.
