A Gift |
| Description: |
I was pretty surprised to see this unit down by the shops. Hoping that my last day of summer would yield some neat stuff, I already was pleased with this sight. It would get better! This unit "isn't from round here" either, because there are a few of the usual suspect SD40-2's that can be found from time to time. This one came out of nowhere though, hopefully it stays around, and doesn't get renumbered right away. |

After getting a glimpse of the red nose with white chevrons from the bridge, I thought that this was an INRD unit of some sort. Equally surprising, this strange GP7 sits near other cool engines, such as a BNSF MP15, Santa Fe GP40X, and now rare SD40-2's. |

And with some flare I might add. Today was semi-reminiscent of the old NTWGAL days, where foriegn power was as common as stop signs. Today it sports the usual BNSF crap, CSXT 8708 (orig. CSX SD60), CSXT 478, and NS 2652. The engineer seems relaxed as well.....ha! |

| Description: |
Last time I shot 9 SD40-2's on a train, they were BNSF owned and heading for HLCX. That was last summer, and now I find nine FURX's being dragged in for contract work yet again. Boy, I'll be waiting patiently to catch one of these in the lead this fall/winter. The last hurrah of SD40-2's I have a feeling. |

| Title: |
H-GALNTW |
| Description: |
The last move for the GALNTW today is to shove the FURX's into the T Yard. These will await a visit to the shop, and then most likely head for their lesser. Im relatively sure that these wont ever run on rails again, atleast in their current state. |
