Was the Haysi B unit their own or did they buy is second hand from a pre-CSX
road? Did the unit have dynamics? Would make an interesting model ot a B
Unit with cab window. Come to think of it RI had a modified 1000 HP E7 B
Unit built by EMD with a Gas-Electric style cab end and baggage compartment
later fitted with another 1000 HP engine. It's purpose was to operate as a B
unit with a two sectrion train that was split enroute.
