I thought it was spared.

Are both the "High Hood" GP35 locos still there today, Friday 4-6? I won't be able to make it though! It won't be long though! It's very nice that there are still some GP35 locos on a Short-line which is still proudly "Independent!!!!" I am glad to have photographed these "High Hood" locos before!!!!

Here's a picture I took (Canon® 35mm AE-1) of TSBY 2648 leading the train north across the Shiawassee River in Vernon, August 2005:

That is what I was told, but the same person who told me that also confirmed 389 is now long gone, into pieces and the first one to go. Apparently, while it looked good on the outside, there had been just way to many parts stripped from it over the years to put it back together. The two high hood units have yet to be cut up. The newest six axel unit, CITX 3143 arrived in Owoso this week. GLC perhaps will be getting an additional four axel unit axel well.

Yes PatAzo the 4056 is the one I ran, whats your connection to it?

None, I recalled the Seaboard GP30 from pictures. I haven't visited any clubs in Florida.

Good. Ugly things.

This is the first I’ve heard of more four axles... wonder if that means 391 or 394 have no chance of running again.

The TSBY painted High-Hood is pretty much history now. Watched it come apart during the day while working at SRI.

Yeah figured that wouldn't take long.
