On a second glance, I see something that now sticks out like a sore thumb--a new build superheated pacific.....with a crosshead pump. Those pumps were more generally regarded as obsolescent 25 or 30 years before that engine was even built. Makes me wonder why they bought it that way. Must've been a good reason. Maybe that road had problems with finnicky injectors and liked having a foolproof option.
