The K-9 systems work pretty well so far the biggest problem with them is that the crews and mechanical dept people havent been properly trained on them. I have seen them come in with the breakers turned off the engine control switch in the wrong position and other problems they are not fool proof but they seem to be a good system. I think the biggest problem is us railroaders ourselves we just hate change we have been burned so many times in the past that we look at anything new that we have to learn as bad. The APU engines themselves are little Kubota diesels some have air compressors but most that I have seen cross the pad don't have compressors. Tractor trailers have been using smaller versions of these systems for at least 15 years and they have been very successful with them.
