Wayne,

Those are E-9M's They were rebuilt by Paducah years ago to have the same guts as a non-turbocharged GP40 about 2000 hp.

I can't remember if the dynamic brakes were installed, it was that long ago. That is mainly why the SD70M's are taken along, so that the Steam Locomotive and the cars don't wear out their brake shoes/pads so quickly.

Rick
