| Another shot of Magma Arizona #9 in Superior, AZ. Note the differences along the top of the hood when comparing these photos to the unit on the McCloud River. Baldwin built this unit so that it could be converted from an S-8 to a S-12 through adding a turbocharger at a later date. This was never done, and sometime after arriving in Arizona the Magama Arizona modified the hood, replacing the single exhaust stack characteristic of turbocharged Baldwin diesels with six exhaust stacks, one for each cylinder, found on normal non-turbocharged diesels. Photo from the John Barnhill collection. |
