In the Summer of 1969 US Steel officials along with officials from Pielstick decided to make a change in the propulsion of the Roger Blough and it was decided to go from a single 15,000 shp engine to two 7,000 shp engines giving a total shp of 14,000.
The two engines were ordered from Crossley-Pielstick in the UK, and US Steel officials were on hand in Cleveland on November 13, 1970 to observe the unloading of the two engines from the Helen Miller of the Manchester Lines. They were subsequently moved by rail to Lorain, Ohio.
