First Michigan G&W engine

[J T]

Its an EMD, half your horsepower goes out the stack, including its oil, the other half goes out the airbox drains.

This really isn't the first GW engine, I cant believe I forgot this, but Rail Link operates in Da UP at Port Inland and owns the SD20 things that are up there.

Dude, what are you talking about? The UP is another state. Sheesh.

Whoa, watch it there or we will revoke our bridge pass.

That's a fresh paint job?

And where is the 3064 going?

With weathering, just like the modelers add. Makes the locomotive look real.

That's funny because all you ever do is hate on me and my insatiable love for ALCos.

Nice, a ex-CNW SD40-2! That color sure beats the heck out of the yellow mustard bottles on the HESR now! Hope those get sent for G&W paint soon.

Im kind of a big fan of the horn other than the slight whine. Nice paint too!

Anything can look good in new paint.....
I like the horn, too. Could do without the whine...sounds like a cabbage.

I heard the crew complaining about it. they hate that unit. "it runs like a piece of crap" but they must be used to railfans up there foaming over the new loco. when i stepped out to take a pic the guy opened the window on the cab and ran his hands over the number, and patting it. he gave the smile and nod, kind of an "oh yeah... " statement.

Sounds like that K needs a good cleaning out. Almost sounded like an old BN RS3K from far off but that unmistakable poorly maintained Nathan K5 warble is there at the end.

Hearing thru the grapevine that the engine may look pretty but the mechanicals are rough and the floor is rotted though.
