I am speechless, just awesome and indeed bring back memories of these units operating here in BC on local shortline Kelowna Pacific, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=32oyUFP5ljU for those who are unfamiliar. Watching six or more units such as in the video struggling to haul tonnage up some pretty steep grades made an impression back in the day as a youngster. Would love to see some of these in British Columbia Railway / BC Rail colors one day along with the remote B units (RCLs as they were called) using Locotrol. Before DPUs became common, BC Rail was one of the pioneers of using DPUs in the 1970s with this particular locomotive model which helped shape how the technology evolved and is a truly historic locomotive for reasons most would not know. Wow, keep up the amazing work!
