New C-19's are are stunning
The
Blackstone engine shops have released their new
C-19's which is great for most
modules as new motive power combined with the much
touted K-27's means new revenue. Have you
seen some of the older stuff we run around here.
However, with the amount of traffic we run with the
wonderfully reliable K's & C's, the engineers & dispatchers on
the NCNG are shaking their heads as to where in the
world will the extra motive power fit and run....
