Dates:5/15/1967 - 5/15/1967
Album Info:Here is a one-page article (in two frames) entitled "Engineman Blair And His New Super-Diesel." It was published originally in the 15 May 1967 issue of "The Pennsy," page 2. No author is specified. "The engines worked easily in the fourth throttle position ~ only half-way to maximum power ~ maintaining that cruising speed while using very little amperage. Seldom did Engineman Blair open the unit up beyond this point, and only twice did he go all the way to the 8th throttle position. That was when he had to mount the sharp grade at Horseshoe Curve."
