i know, when i heard him say that I was like, well you lucky you got away with just that, what did you think was going to happen? That blower hat in no way has big enough butterflies to let the air in that thing needed anyway

huh.. F7 was an alco unit, I never knew alco units were supercharged, you learn some useless piece of info every day i guess.

I see that junk yard on my way to ATCO dragway, there are loccomotives in there, ya know.. incase anyone was jonsein to pick up a train for the back yard layout i guess. I see planes too, now thats a junkyard!

I asked my uncle, he used to work for conrail, F3's, F7's, E8's E'9's FL-9's etc all built by GM not alco, but he doesnt remember them being supercharged, but still that blower came off something pretty big
