  1. Amazing machines that churn out huge amounts of power at very low rpm.

  5. Generally used for logging on poor quality rail. They are very sure footed and cope well with low quality and temporary rail.

    1. They're All Wheel Drive, tender included. Easy to identify because of their offset boiler.
