Those engines look dope! LSRC struck gold with that paint scheme.

These are great pullers. And do well on lighter rail too.

Would those be used in road service too?

MP15's are designed for road service (see the Bloomberg trucks) too but I don't know if that's what LSRC will use them for

They're planning to use them only in the yard and local services around Saginaw and Bay City. This per a reliable source on a Facebook page when these were first publicized.

They don't have a john onboard and per Michigan Law I believe they must have a facility of some sort for relieving oneself and then washing up. When they stick to the yard...no probem, make a run for the shanty. On the road...hanging your bum over the handrail can be problematic at times.
