>>1103791Why do they have 844 with a diesel constantly hooked up behind it? It's usually pulling less than half the load it was designed to haul. Is it for improved braking or something?
>>1106491>>1106493>>1106532What is it that's preventing GG1s from being restored to service? From what I understand, the frames are cracked and they had to remove the transformers as environmental hazards.
Would it be possible to build a modernized GG1 (i.e. engine and transformers built to modern safety regs, but with an identical frame and chassis) or God forgive me for suggesting this, convert one to diesel?
