Then again, aren't the 430's that M&E sold off to the WNY&P air starts as well?Good to know. I guess the Canadians preferred air starters. The 430's and the 630's and actually the 636's should all have air starters. As far as I know, most locomotives with A.C. Traction Alternators are started with compressed air.
Wear ear plugs and warn those around you of what is about to happen or else someone might get startled.
