@NY&LB The school bus thing was something I found out in high-school. My school district payed a private firm for transportation and sometimes the drivers would tell me stuff lol.
As for 4452 and 4432, I took a vocational school class on internal combustion engines so I have some knowledge on how they work and identifying problems.
4452 leaks so much oil that it’s completely covered some of the tracks in browns, and 4432 has no pulling power. I’ve got a feeling that engine is actually a GP38-2S, which is a CSX rebuild program to try and make GP40s more fuel efficient.
The results of that seem very mixed. Some came out fine while others have come out horrible.
Anyone remember CSX 4441? That engine was a GP38-2S and it was universally hated by North Jersey crews. No power, and it sounded awful too.
