Might have been 12, but the way they vibrated they could have been 3, 5,7, 9...pick a number! Whatever those POS were, they were the worst EMD locos ever made, and at the time I didn't think EMD could make a bad loco! My hatred for the things was so great that I didn't care to know anything about those rattle-traps! Woe be onto you if you had to sit on one for any length of time waiting to make a move!
They used to put them on work trains. You could be on another train and pass one in the clear and watch them shaking themselves to death!
