[edit] 36" dynamic brake fans

I'm guessing that this feature was only seen in those locomotives intended for operating in mountainous regiouns? Or were all of the Phase Is equipped with dynamic brakes? --Badger151 17:25, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

This was only if dynamic brakes were fitted. Mountain railroads, as a rule, always fitted dynamic brakes (though there are exceptions). Some flatland railroads did so too, because they might still have grades on which dynamic braking was useful Matthew Brown (Morven) (T:C) 17:53, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
