Also shown in Jan/Feb 1993 Diesel Era magazine. Any clue how you would use coal to run a diesel prime mover? They would seem rather exclusive of one another. Any info on this loco/project would also be greatly appreciated!

Okay, some quick searching found this:

Looks like some kind of "liquid coal" used in diesels.

If you download the PDF, you see that they used a "Coal-Water Slurry" for fuel. Interesting stuff, I'll read more. Maybe someone else has some info.

Thanks for the link! Seems that while promising, it went no where. Maybe it got shelved as a "future" project?
