You bet it is. MQT currently leases GMTX 2652 and leased 2676 in the past, both of which are ex CR extended cab units. 2676 was replaced by GMTX 2680 (rebuilt from an SP GP35) as it was a "shop queen". I'm unsure if 2652 and 2676 are ex PRSL or part of the group that PC ordered later on.

CR Jon is spot on. That loco was in the yard in Manistee the day you and I were up there but the light was not in the right spot.

2676 was built as PRSL 2014 and 2652 was PC 7097. Looks like 2652 would have been in the later group.

Thanks guys, I thought it was, just to lazy to look up the number in my photo archives, I do have a close up of it when Patrick and I went up there last year, I just have CRS and don't remember numbers of units like I used to (My hard drive is full) just a polite way to say I'm just plain stupid!
