Posted by Kent Nelson on February 14, 2015  Wow great photo Jack. Posted by J. Randall Banks on February 14, 2015  Cool photo indeed. Kind of strange looking in that there are no of the usual large gas tanks. Though being an electric and they're not needed, it's still strange indeed. Posted by MArailfan on February 14, 2015  Thanks for posting this. Had no idea these ever existed-wish I had actually seen one in action. Posted by John Dziobko www.godfatherrails.com on February 14, 2015  That is great historic photo. Many thanks. Posted by Dale Roth on February 14, 2015  EMD built two of these. One 6000 HP and this one producing 10000 HP. This one also has a center truck which slipped sideways. From TRAINS magazine several years ago the center truck was needed to distribute the weight of this thing. Must have been a beast to support all that copper.
