Actually Morrison-Knudsen at Boise engineered and built the prototype TEBU 1600. M-K did give them a model number, S3-3B DE according to the prints. 1600's core was a former UP high nose U25B.

Now the big question - SP had made a substantial financial commitment to get the 1600, ordering the slug modified GP40-2s plus the engineering costs. Does anyone know how and where they tested the 1600 before building more?

I doubt GE was too involved.
