Hello,
I recently stumbled upon this type which I don't recognize. It seems this is just another one of the many custom GP40 hybrid builds (Ex. NJT's GP40FH-2's, sharing F40 components, or GP40PH-2's.) What is the GP40TC's history? What was involved in it's custom production? It looks like Amtrak has recently had them rebuilt, and de-rated to GP38"H-3's" (I guess no more turbocharger?). Any reason for this?
