Spotted mostly complete in photos by Dean Splittgerber, mid-August 2006 at Super Steel in Glenville, NY. No additional information known (yet). |

Unit reported by Railpower to be for Lubrizoil, reporting marks LZRX. Presume this will ship with RPRX reporting marks as Bechtel 2000 did, and also as the Modoc Rail Academy unit will. |

Donor unit number provided by Railpower, with information filled in from the IAIS Lifetime Roster (http://www.iaisrailfans.org/motive-power/index.shtml) and the UNofficial EMD Home Page (http://www.trainweb.org/emdloco/). |

Lubrizoil is an industrial plant in Houston, TX. Lubrizoil in Deer Park (a suburb of Houston) is served by Railserve SW1200 RSS 2269. No idea why they decided to go with their own unit here. |
