IC 1506 ——> LDSX 1506
LDS bringing function back to a piece of history!
This engine took a long road back from complete scrap status to the machine pictured. All high voltage cabling was stripped by vandals along with all high voltage components. LDS was left with the scraps of this skeleton! As you can see from the before pictures.
In common fashion around here the B block was removed and replaced with a C block. All new components top to bottom. Added 30,000 pounds of weight for additional tractive effort. The time was spent on this engine to bring it back life!
Now off to have a great time with the good folks at GIO Railways.
Let’s hear your thoughts in the comments!
