3043 and 324 are obviously ex DMVW.

324 (originally CNW) shorted out its main generator in late 1991. After being repaired at the MNVA shops, it lost its turbo. They de-turboed it using junk parts from a burned up xSP 16-567C. They didn't reset the electrical system to the lower horsepower. That POS would only pull 800 amps at 10 mph and would claim to be slipping at that even running as the third unit. It would coat everything around it in oil if you left it idle. I think it was the unit that probably started the fire that burned Outlook, Montana to the ground.

Hope you are having better luck with it.
