  Hi List,

   

                  For those inquiring about the two diesels giving help to the Tennessee Valley's ex-SR 630.  The engines are actually a mother and slug set.  NS #716 is a slug unit.  Slugs do not have diesel engines.  They get their electric from the "mother" engine.  The way I understand it is that the GP40-2 and slug have the starting tractive effort two GP 40-2's without the fuel consumption of two diesel engines. 

   

                  Thank you Mr. Walt Gay for the videos!

   

  John Hecker
