I'm trying to find prototype F-M switchers and road switchers that were re-engined by or with EMD prime movers. There must have been some - who had them?
Thanks!
I found my old Second Diesel Spotter's Guide, which had a section on repowerings. I found mention of the following:
KCS 41 (45) H-15-44
Monon 18 H-10-44
Monon 45-46 H-15-44
RI 400-401 H-15-44
There was even an overhead pic of RI 400 showing the EMD-type stacks - about the only outward evidence of the repowering that I can see.
One other factory re-powering job to keep in mind: WAB Train Masters 592-599 were re-powered at Schenectady with 251 engines.
A number of the EMD repower jobs are here: http://community-2.webtv.net/ajkristopans/REPOWEREDLOCOMOTIVES/ A J Kristopans maintains the website. The Monon FM units are not on the list as they were repowered in the Monon Shops instead of by EMD.
