Seen in transit from Altoona in mid-March 2007 after leaving the shops. Reported to be headed to Charlotte, NC for switching service there. From photo evidence and discussion on NS discussion group. |
D |
Unit features the newer cab design (sharper lines on the short hood, etc) of production RP20BD's, but has the enlarged dynamic brake hump at the back of the long hood found only on RP20BD prototype RPRX 5400 and RP20BH prototype RPRX 5401. From photo evidence and personal observations. |
