If you want a new idea, read an old book. The GP9 Tally in the January-February 1972 issue of Extra 2200 South has an interesting entry. CN GP9 #4346 was delivered with a 16-567CD engine rated at 1800 horsepower. This would be GMD serial A-1781 on order C-263 shipped October 9, 1959. This appears to be a GMD engine demonstration, does anyone have additional information on this?
