A HEP swap should be fairly quick, especially in a facility such as Altoona.

The other units that went out there spent a good 3-5 months out there at a time for HEP change-outs.

The 1139 was delivered to BET 2/28 by CSX B721

Let us remember the distinct growl of the original Cummins HEP sets in the Geeps, a sound that many commuter rail fans distinguished them by for 15 years.

Wow.. Selkirk actually sent a locomotive the correct way for once. This is surprising.
