The caption for this shot, http://www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.p ... 211&nseq=0, says that NS re-rated 36 of its Dash 9's. Is this true?

$switch = var(hpswitchposition)
if $switch = "4000" then goto #4000fuelcode
else goto #4400fuelcode

Normal operations call for the switch to be left in 4400HP position. The loco will produce 4400HP in Notch 8 from 0.1MPH to 25MPH while accelerating, then automatically reduce to 4000HP at speeds above 25MPH. If the loco speed drops to 15MPH, then the loco will again produce 4400HP. This is deemed a fuel saving feature.
