Description Last night, this unit was coupled to a string of ballast hoppers. Today, it's sitting by itself on the yard power lead. I noticed that while idling, it was producing more smoke than I usually see from these units. Time for heavy work like an overhaul?
This unit has been yard power here in Centralia, WA more than once.

Is that two separate A/C units? odd.

I know, right? they weren't there when this unit was here last spring.
