Just found out about these locomotives in a special Trains diesel issue. They obviously have a low-clearance capability and remind me of the EMD G12, a road switcher found in Mexico. What's impressive to me is when you consider the 3,700 hp in a small package and I like the double cab. My concern, however, is if there's a collision, the engineer could easily get killed, because of such a short nose.
If you go to youtube.com, type "PowerHaul Story" into the search and you'll find a good clip on it. Includes a unit being on-loaded in Norfolk, VA and off-loaded in Newport, Wales.
Is the PH37ACmi now the standard freight loco of the UK?
