Very interesting. A turbo charger is already present in all our Alco locomotives. A super charger could provide some additional boost in power & torque, it cannot reduce the hauling capacity

How about an intercooler too !

Perhaps a different type/brand of turbo you mean which is underoing trials... But that doesnt reduce the hauling power.

Great solid-looking loco.
