Engine possibly for sale in San Diego

The roadway giving way acted as somehat of a dampner, as did the vehicles being crushed.

Four or six of them go on that supply ship. It isn't a Waukashau (spelling is poor, but I used to "advise" engineers on their use for power plants, sewage treatment, etc for the Boston distributor. Maybe a Fairbanks-Morse? (I think that they are in Wisconsin.)

Under Amstradam, there is a generator diesel with cylinders big enough to stand in that uses the watersystem of that city fpr cooling the water. This was in use in the 1960s.

San Dego Unioo Tribune excerpts 7/31/07

"tried to deliver load through wrong gate"

"He was backing up, hit a curb and it started tipping"

"diesel-electric engine" (I guess that he means an engine and generator in a package)

"The trailer was equipped with a hydraulic system designed to keep heavy loads level. However, once the trailer wheels hit the curb, neithetr the hydraulics nor the chains securing the the engine wee emugh to keep the load stable. The hydraulics were trying to level it (but) it started tipping back and forth, and it fell." (This is not the best edited item the uT has run.)

9The unit is F-M, as I thought it might be.
