Not Tier 2 Compliant

Changed the engine type to -T1, since the locomotives beat Tier 2 requirements. Jimzim66 17:14, 15 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The EMD 710 article says it has the T2 prime mover - who is right? Kether83 06:53, 16 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I recall hearing that the PL42AC only meets T1 (that Alstom made a big effort to get all of the engines fired up before the T2 deadline), though I don't have a source for that. In any case, someone recently changed the 710 article to list the PL42AC with a T1 engine. —LrdChaos (talk) 14:15, 17 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Worked on them... it does only met T1. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.72.149.168 (talk) 20:47, 27 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Continuous Tractive Effort

Are these Continuous Tractive Effort figures correct? ALP-45DP: 292 kN, whereas PL42AC: only 120 kN? Tim PF (talk) 01:56, 4 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
