[quote]QUOTE: The really odd feature of the design was the torque converter. It used diesel fuel oil as its hydraulic transmission fluid -- from the main fuel tank![/quote] I heard that the Cat D9 of the same era used the same technique. How easy is the switcher to drive? I just revisited #14 in Canal Flats. It's in really poor shape. An interesting thing is that you can actually see where "Canadian Pacific" was painted over! [:D] You know the yellow thing on the rear hood? That is a Cat torque converter. The rear of the engine under that hood is in pieces. Knowing what brakeman136 said about the drivetrain, the clutch probably gave out and they took it out for repairs. Does anyone have information on #14? All I know is that CFI Bought it in 1968. I'm not sure if I said this: #15 in elko was owned by Crowsnest Lumber before CFI bought the mill in 1978. I think it was remumbered from 25 to 651 before it was abandoned. If anyone is interested in detailed pictures of both #14 and #15, send me an email. I have 6.75 Mb of pics on both of them. Another interesting thing is that CLC made the gearbox that drives the wheels! I also made a website on the dt-2: [url]http://www.geocities.com/puffie40/CLC_DT-2_Switcher.html[/url]
