HGZX 169_0004 2-28-17

2/28/17: Profile of the "cabUnit" of the Herzog TieTrain at CongressPark; Brookfield, Illinois.

 

From www.trainorders.com/

"HZGX 169 is ex-Ford SW1001 10022...

"I haven't seen a 'new' model name for these but the other Herzog power units rebuilt from GP38, GP40 and I think some first generation Geeps are Relco model RLMW 1500 A, 2000, 2300 etc."

The train itself is a Herzog MPM, or Multi Purpose Machine. Some info here:
