M630 - MagnumMacKivler/RLCPT2 GitHub Wiki
The M630 was the 3000 horsepower offering on the M-Line's six-axle universal chassis, Alco/MLW's attempt at standardizing their different models of locomotive. With only 67 built it's not a surprise that there's only four left, however all M630s left are operational with three in revenue freight.
