Here is some info on NS4000 I found on the JReb.org forum posted by StevenJ an engineer for Norfolk Southern testing this unit: PR43C is aEx-SD50 Rebuilt With 2 CAT Engines A C-18 700hp And A C-175 3400hp Each Wth It's Own Generator.It Works Like This: The C-18 Runs In Throtle notches 1 & 2, The C-175 Runs From Notch 3 Through 7, Both Are On Line From Notch 8 Through 10. This Is A Tier III Loco Developed Jointly By PR/CAT, TMS/NS And Funded With A Grant From The State Of Illinois.

It won't last,from my stand point as an engineer,twice as much stuff to break you doubled your problems.

thats pretty much how I thought of it also. they can hardly keep our engines running and they only have one in them!
