I'm looking for any information on the MP15e (number 2423) that got a turbocharger and upgraded cooling modifications. Are there any more in the pipeline, and how is this test unit doing??

I've noticed also in photos that the upgraded cooling "bump" above the radiator area originally had 3 small fans and was changed to one big fan, what's behind that exactly?

The locomotive is too slippery, even with some derating. Future rebuilds are to receive an alternator, modified radiator, and Microprocessor controls, but no turbocharger.

Not heavy enough to use that extra muscle i guess?

Any idea if the "production run" units get the one big fan or the 3 fan array?
