Who does this unit belong to?
The paint job of the cab suggests it"s a cra***est locomotive.
Who’s the owner, you are. The Department of Transportation, Federal Railroad Administration.

Just looked at the other picture http://www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.php?id=56268&showcomments=true . I was right.
I’d imagine this unit is going to get crashed into something (fixed object, maybe another train, etc.) The grid markings would be measured after impact for the extent of compaction. Perhaps this is a new cab design (i.e. better internal crash resistance) that is being tested.
kinda neat looking actually. i hope that’s replacing the ACe style boxy ugly cab.
no, the boxy cab now replaced that, its the SD70/75 cab. not both pictures were taken in 2002/2003
Check out my sig.
It actually goes back to the SD60M, the newer ones.

Pretty cool, but I like my ACe cabs too…doors are bigger, but they need teardrop windshields!
Looks just like an SD45T with a modern cab plopped on it.
SD45T-2 still use or scrap ?
coborn35,
Nice signature art there but on a tunnel motor the cooling fans are beneath the radiators not on top of them as your picture shows. They are in behind the two or three horizontal doors above the grills on the sides. The top of the units are just a big grill over the radiator cores. Nice try though. If you are in DM&IR territory you can travel down to the overpass at the north end of Proctor yard and look down on the top of the tunnel motors in service there to see what I am talking about.
I wanna see it smash!

lol good idea want to see it smash
What a smash it would be!
It was probably “smashed” several years ago. There should have been high speed cameras or high speed vidieo taken of the impact. Some copies maybe available if you needed this info and could pay for the copies. I doubt it would be made available just for entertainment As always ENJOY [2c]
[:)] Have you see it ?
I want see it when that locomotive went smash
see how much damage worse ?
Ever since KCS got tunnel motors,I have hoped they would build a wide cab tunnel motor from two wrecked units[8D].
That paint scheme reminds me of automotive spy photos where they put the tape on it so you cant see the countours.
I wanna see it sma***oo…
how sweet that would be…[:D]
