Gang, The unit we have has the following data. The build date is around July of 1957. Its EMD number is #2063. It was built for the southern RWY. Virtually all of the wiring in the #1 & 2 control cabinets it is toast due to age and various fires and corrosion. As far as contractors doing mods is concerned....who knows? I know the ICG owned it for a while. We obtained a set of drawings from them, but they were for the most basic, stripped down E8 ever built. There is a 14" x 14" box of aftermarket electrical controls on the Fireman's side by the #1 engine. It has seven tube type resistors of various sizes in it, three rectifiers, one regular four contact control relay, and one EMD micro control reverse current relay p/n 8327263. There are 13 control wires that leave this box and go forward to the cab area. I've just sketched the box up and are in the process of trying to figure what it does. Also someone added two multi-contact control relays: "PCRP" and "DA". These are in the #1 control cabinet. I can eventually figure out what they were for, but do they ring any bells with anybody? I know these two items don't have anything to do with my original request, but these just came up. Thanks, E-bob
