General Notes:
1. RailAmerica property DGNO has ordered a pair of two engine genset units from NRE. From an article in the Associated Press. (http://biz.yahoo.com/ap/070306/tx_cleaner_locomotives.html) Also announced by NRE (http://www.nationalrailway.com/RailAmerica-NRECRelease.pdf) when the locomotives were delivered.
2. As relayed by a DNGO employee, NRE says that the 140 and 141 are both built on new frames with new fuel tanks and other appliances, making the trucks about the only thing recycled on the unit. Photo evidence is consistent with this.
|
Notes:
A. 140 and 141 were spotted in Paducah, KY in April 2007. They were delivered to the DGNO in early May, and quickly entered service. From photo evidence, online reports, and DGNO employee information.
B. Per an article on the Green Car Congress website, (http://www.greencarcongress.com/2007/11/nrec-n-viromoti.htm) DGNO 140 and 141 have the provision to be modified to 3GS21B through the addition of a third genset if the customer decides upon it later.
C. Builder's plate info by Chris Trott. Build location from Joe Ferguson.
