This Progress Rail GenSet engine (photos at right) arrived from Paducah, Ky on April 25, 2009 at West Yards in Madisonville, Ky. Their new state-of-the-art GenSet locomotives are powered by Caterpillar C18 engines in modular power plant packages, offering maximum reliability and availability to keep railroads running. These locomotives are fuel efficient and environmentally friendly. You can find more details on their website at: http://www.progressrail.com It was moved to CSX Atkinson Yard on April 26, 2009 for transport to Patterson, Ga. Looking at older photos of this unit online it appears that a couple of the units were switched out at Paducah as older photos show all the engine compartments in red. (Photos by Jim Pearson)
