  1. well over a thousand


  2. I went to their website to try to get information, but they do not list a power roster.

    One photo appears to be of a GP 40, in which case it is probably 3,000 HP.

    Another shows what may be a Baldwin Switcher, but it's hard to tell, so probably in the neighborhood of 1,000 to 1,500 HP.  

    The angles at which both photos were taken makes it hard to determine, for sure, what the engines actually are.

    There is no steam power pictured, but they reference two by number only.  Can't tell anything from that.

    Sorry I couldn't do better.
