No offense taken Tim, but how would you justify replacing a 645 at a cost of around $125.000 for the supposed savings of shutting down a locomotive in below freezing temps? Yes, I do agree that these APU's might be a first step in the right direction, but as we have them now, they have failed miserably... <br /> I still think the way to go is anti-freeze in the cooling system. However, that is not practical with current designs, with the exception of the few "Caterpillar" rebuilds. For crying out loud, if EMD, and GE can coax 6000HP. out of a single prime mover, I think they should be able to figure out a sealed coolant system. <br /> Todd C.
