It has been discussed on LocoNotes for about a week, search under PRSX 3802. Ex ACWR GP38 3802.

"Hello Gary, it is probably Progress Rail`s entry into the gen-set market.
Remember, Progress has been purchased by CAT

     Holy cow! Shock [:O]  It looks like the kids built it in the backyard!  It appears to be an "experimental" unit?

Thanks to Chris / CopCarSS for my avatar.

I saw that one at the Progress rail facility in Patterson, GA. I see they still haven't added a long hood.
