Harvey, it’s two CAT engines. According to their website the big one the C175 is T2 compliant and produces 3,600HP. The second engine is a C18 T2 compliant engine generating 700HP of power. They replace the old EMD 645 engine. So better fuel consumption and T2 compliant. Not a bad deal. Plus being these engines aka generators are sled mounted, they can be swapped out quickly. Not to mention computer diagnostics.
