EFVM 9537

An ex-ATSF B36-7 on EFVM fleet. Now it is a BB36-7.
Pedro, its nice to see some "real" units down here...
Can you tell me why they change the tracks configuration??? Its becouse of the metric gauge???

Thanks and keep posting those photos!!!
 
Hi mikeknuchey, yes EFVM is metric gauge and the locos are standard ones, so it was necessary to change the truck arrangments to distribute better the weigth and to give the loco the same traction efforts on standard gauge configuration.
