At the risk of going off topic I'll comment that RI had two FM's..400 and 401 they were in suburban service and later re engined with EMD and lived out their life in that condition. They were good, powerful and fast..We used to use them on Saturday nights for the "first pull" piggyback run from 12th St. to BI...With the right engineer they would make passenger time from 12th to Blue Island Pete

Seems to me there was (either at that discussion or another one with the same players) that brought up a control wiring modification that the Q used to juice up the acceleration on E8 and E9 units that couldn't be applied to E7 or E5 locomotives. EMD was opposed to it but it worked fine for the Q.
While on the subject how about the rumored FM Trainmasters for suburban service? Apparently it went far enough for FM to do a rendering of one in dinky service crossing the DesPlaines at Riverside. FM didn't have a chance (even though a H10-44 got an AFE to cover fuel for demo use at Western Avenue) because somebody left the Mechanical Department for a job at FM and it caused bad blood with Beloit.
