Taking Two Electromotive (EMD) locomotives and turning it into one Eco-motive, burning half the fuel
We bought a delapidated engine (9423) from a scrapyard, made modifications to it, and hooked it up with the 703. The two locomotives attached provides the pulling effort of 2 normal locomotives, but burns fuel from only one engine.
