Mainline applications for Gen Set diesels are comparatively rare.
A gen set is a computer-optimized multiple-engine diesel electric designed for very low emissions, and typically used for switching.
Indiana Harbor Belt gen-set works east at Burns Harbor, Indiana.
In July, Chris Guss and I chased this eastward IHB freight.
Although it was a dull afternoon, the locomotive’s brilliant orange paint made for a dramatic subject.
Working with a short telephoto, I aimed to emphasize the unusual shape of the Gen Set locomotive, panning it slightly to offset the cluttered industrial background.
