[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by nanaimo73</i> <br /><br />GN ran Electrics through this tunnel until 1956. Could you fit the electrical converting equipment into existing locomotives? Slightly used electrics are availible in Mexico. Adding and dropping these units would take a lot more time than that saved by not ventilating.This would lower clearance as well. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />As of last summer, those "slightly used" Mexican E60 electrics were sitting on an overgrown spur track near Harlingen TX, and not in particularly good shape.
