    Most likely going for a PDI first before delivery to the GJR

    Pre Delivery Inspection. This is a new locomotive to GEXR fresh out of shops so mechanical would have to give it a go over before it can be run. It may have been shipped without fluids to prevent freezing since locomotives use only water mostly. The fuel system may need priming as well.
