Is that why everytime we have 4801 30th Street station FILLS with black smoke and is so unbarable you can smell it from the waiting room?BiggAW wrote:If the GP-40s aren't meeting the EPA rules, I'd hate to see what the emissions of the P40's look like. Although you can't see some types of pollution, the visible particulates coming out of the P40s are a lot worse than the GP40s. Both types of locos need some serious engine work and exhaust gas treatment to eliminate visible particulate emissions. That being said, I saw a GP-40-2H smoking it up in OSB a few weeks ago, it was a downright frigid day, so it must have been because of HEP for heating because the train wasn't moving. They have separate HEP engines, unlike F40's and P40's, right?the NJT units hardly smoke,
