MLW found that these two locos were so similar that the original designation of the RS-18 was the RS-11M. Both used a 12-251 rated at 1800hp and used the same electrical systems as well. Oh and LC, is this supposed to be a test [;)]? <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Not really, except perhaps the bit about St. Luc. Of course, there is a distinction between the RS-18 and the RS-18u as remanufactured by CPR. The wiring diagrams, brake system (26) and other components are different... <br /> <br />LC
