EMD E9 - Penn Central Brunswick Green

Description
The EMD E-Unit series Is usually overshadowed by its smaller, 4-axle general purpose cousins the F Units, however it was actually the E's which were first released to market, with the F's being derivitives of the EMD TA, which itself was based on the original EA.
E units were built specially to haul long distance passenger trains at high speeds.
The E unit Family has some design features that make them rather odd by today's standard. Their A1A-A1A wheel arrangement meant that the center axle on each truck was unpowered, only to carry the weight of the locomotive. (meaning despite the larger size, they still had the same number of drivers as the F's) They needed they extra support because of the other quirk, the fact that they had 2 V12 diesel engines instead of the single V16 of the F-units. The original EAs were rated to 1800hp, and later models steadily improved that power up to the 2400hp of the E9.

This model is in the Conrail Black OCS scheme as Conrail E9 #4020, used on Penn Central probably until 1971, when it was most likely handed over to Amtrak, living out the rest of it's days on, yet again, passenger services

Cool Modifications and Borrowing parts encouraged, Straight reuploads not preferred but i really don't care. :)

I do not take requests, I do things at my own pace, because I don't like having 5 projects to work on at once, plus other things
UPCOMING E9 LIVERIES: Fictional Conrail Blue, RF&P E8 (never had E9) Possible B-Units also coming
(And need I not forget the Seaboard Coast Line, my home railroad! I may also include Amtrak liveries, Phase I, II, and III)
-------------------------------------
