Several lines traded in FTs on newer power, such as GP9s. I have been on several of B&M's GP9s which came from FT trades. These have 1750hp. I know GN had some rated at 1350hp. M&StL also had some with less than stock rating.
My question is did the railroad have options on the content of reused parts? I have heard that the GN units used either the lower rated main gen. or maybe an older version of 567 prime mover.
