Good evening, So just out of curiosity I was wondering if anyone one here knows/knew where any of them went. I’m pretty sure there was 30 or 35 built. I’m talking about the U that could go 60mph not the construction one… ------------- 1955 AC WD45 diesel with D262 repower, 1949 AC WD45 |

I wonder how they control the throttle. Would they have had a foot throttle on that just in case you have an accident running at that kind of speed? ------------- 2-8070FWA PS/8050PS/7080/7045PS/200/D15-II/2-WD45/WD/3-WC/UC/C |

| Throttle was probably controlled by common sense and work experience, nobody yapping on the phones, just my guess |

Ha ha!!! Only people who aren’t on their phone while driving around here are the older who don’t even know what a “smart phone” is…. I’d have to say to grease the front end every 2 hours?  ------------- 1955 AC WD45 diesel with D262 repower, 1949 AC WD45 |
