Re: [CBQ] Q Redbird Scheme Lives Again

[Joe Jones <havremt2002@yahoo.com>]

When I was at the Havre oi lab I went to Northtown to see the first CAT 
conversion.  A 3600 hp engine was dropped into the BN 6330.  The main selling 
point was that in temperatures as low as 40 it could be shut down and 
restarted.  No need to idle.  It used anti-freeze instead of water treatment.  
There was supposed to be a couple of more engines converted, but the program 
was dropped.  The lab at Alliance took care of the oil sampling.  I have one of 
a very few CAT hat that say"Locomotive Power".

      GREAT pictures!

Is that the locomotive CAT used to test their new engine that time they where 
trying to get into the locomotive business?

Interesting "resurrection" of the Redbird scheme:
