C46T4 - FresnoSubber/Fresno-and-Co.-Trainbuild-Tomfuckery GitHub Wiki
CalNev's first engine that really caught SSE's attention was this one, the C46T4, in 2015. SSE basically just saw this as a cleaner and more powerful SD40-2. This made the previous SD39CATs irrelevant and thrown off the roster in 2023. This was the first of a few MK Designs that CalNev got the spoils of, basically just vaporizing the ALCO 251 in favor of an MTU product.
2 SSE C46T4s leading a manifest with a C40-8W behind them. The C46T4s were nicknamed "Warships" by railfans after an engineer scribbled "USS WASHOE COUNTY" on unit 4607. It is speculated that the engineer in question had a relative who was stationed on the landing ship in question in Vietnam.

(1) AC electrical gear is three-phase. Value shown here is for a single phase; the value used by RLC PT2 should be 3 times the value shown. This is done by typing "*3" (without quotes) after the number value when editing the locomotive config in the E2 editor. I mean it's not exactly how it works but it's the closest we got.
