This order for two RP20CD gensets is in addition to the first order for four delivered earlier this year. Like the first four, these units are funded by a Carl Moyer grant and will go into service on the Roseville, CA hump (?). The order was announced in a press release by Railpower on Sept. 22, 2008. |

Core unit numbers for these two units was provided by Railpower in mid-Oct. 2008. At that time it was projected that the cores would be used in that order, but it was still early enough in the manufacturing process that they might have been switched. |
