Never saw it on Transit, but I did catch it on the Shenandoah Line at Front Royal VA while
leased to NS. Unit is former CSX 6838, nee-C&O 4083, b/n 38563, 7-71, frame 7340-19

This unit, nor none of the 650-665 group, did not have HEP capability, only HEP pass-thru
capability. Only one unit, Amtrak/HLCX 667 did have an HEP power plant, but that didn't last
long, (removed for Helm lease service). The 665 and 667 (no 666) were "protection power"
given to Amtrak for free because the group as a whole were turning out to be lemons.
