QUOTE: Originally posted by bbrant Saw a former Conrail unit, now CSX #7133, this weekend. Under the road number on the cab (engineer's side) were the markings C36-7. However, they were spray painted over and C30-7 was stenciled next to it. My question is this. What would (was) changed that made this unit go from being a C36-7 to a C30-7? Here's a link to a photo if anyone is interested. http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id= Brian

If you change the injector rack without changing the governer or all of the governer settings the engine will hunt. Randy
