MBD&T GE 65-ton #4491 is active.
The other MBD&T 65-ton center cab is not being used but still on the rails parked on a siding. Ass
Here’s a couple of pics taken in 2024

Re: Padnos center cab
I dug around back through my phone to find the photos I snapped of the one time I saw this “other” 65 Tonner doing some work at the Holland Padnos property. Date is December 23, 2021. I have not seen it move before or since. Close inspection reveals it has seen a lot of “excitement” over its life and is clearly not the favorite among it and the 4491.
Didn’t they have a white centercab too? I recall seeing it through a fence at the end of one of their spurs around the 2016/17 timeframe and then one day it was just gone.

The white one was scrapped in 2013-2014. It was gone by the time I started regularly working Padnos on Y121 and Y223.

Here’s a satellite image that shows the white 65 tonner as well as what GP30M4216 calls the other 65 tonner. I’ve also included a satellite image of what I believe is the last of what once was a large fleet of Padnos rail cranes being scrapped.
In the mid 70s the cranes were built by American and were painted yellow. Those were then replaced by red and white Linkbelt built cranes in the late 70s early 80s.

Re: Padnos center cab
That's a completely different engine.

Re: Padnos center cab
What is a completely different engine? I am not exactly sure what you are talking about could you please specify.
What was Y223? Was that the second shift local that at one time worked out of Waverly yard.
Here’s a satellite image taken at the same time as the others of MBD&T #4491 working on the MBD&T Lake Macatawa dockside track.
