And a few TF's. The first photo was taken during a surface inspection before the asphalt was put down at Daytona.

Good eye! You're right, but they're not! The Detroit Diesel blowers are driven off the back of the engine. Guys wanting to run a big Detroit blower had to get creative.

This is a 471 from "back in the day."

As I begin to get ready for a day of snow removal I thought I'd do something a little different. There's both a TF and an AD in this one.
