Greg, I'm attaching a photo of this lashup. As you can see the GE is
still painted in Armour Yellow, seems to have a fuel tank, and obviously
a fully modified hood. I had forgotten about the 4th unit which seems
to be a SD-40?? also.

Bob,
That sounds like a hump engine RC unit combo. Were the GE's gray? If
they were, they are RC control units that allow any diesel to be
controlled with a radio control unit when MU'd and is the way UP
switches cars in hump yards now. The GE's have no traction motors,
just weight to help them stay on the track. Roseville uses rebuilt
SD40-2's in pairs but have the RCL controls built in.
