Notes:  
A

This is the prototype for Brandt Road-Rail's three-engine genset locomotive. It uses three 600hp John Deere 6135 engines, for a cumulative rating of 1,800. The unit is testing in Regina as of Nov. 2008, with plans to proceed to testing on Canadian Pacific. All information on this unit was provided by Brandt Road Rail, with our thanks.

B

Brandt purchased retired GP9 CP 1592 from Canadian Pacific. This wasn't used as a platform for this unit. It was scrapped at Regina, probably for the trucks and some other components. Information from Brandt.

C

Serial number and build date not yet available, but will be provided by Brandt at a later date. Many thanks for their support in this project.
