RCT&HS GP-7 Arrives at new museum

[RDG Diesel]

Here are some updates on the RCT&HS GP7

In the spring of 2009 the RCT&HS Mechanical Staff began inspecting the mechanical status of GP7 #621 it was found to have leaking liner gaskets which is a common ailment to early EMD engines. The solution of this problem is to remove all the Power Assemblies (Piston liners and heads) and regasket them

This photo shows some of the work starting on the Geep
