What are the stacks for on this unit? I take it they are for a genorator unit?

I would venture to get guess that they're exhaust for the HEP engine.

Re: Stacks on the NS F Units
Yes stacks, with mufflers are for HEP. If you are refering to the stacks between the first and last fans, those are exhaust stacks for the prime mover.

Re: Stacks on the NS F Units
I was indeed refering to the ones that actually look like a regular automovtive stack. I know what the main exhuast looks like.
