Re: GLC 395, 396, 399
And the truck has a similiar color scheme as GLC unit. You couldn't have set that up better than what you caught by chance on the fly I think it's a great pic.

Are there some buildings missing in the background? Something about that angle looks odd to me.JUST AARON wrote:Train 332 in Battle Creek, Tied down at Emmett Street. Stan brought her in last night.

The transload doesn't seem to transload anymore........or were you referring to the roundhouse that used to sit in the background from WAAAYYYYY back??
Re: GLC 395, 396, 399
The shot I usually take looks off the bridge to the South West. This was shot looking to the South East. Right into the sun if the clouds were not there. The Peoples LLC grain Co op is directly to camera right. They still use the grain elevator, But not with trains.J T wrote:Are there some buildings missing in the background?

Re: GLC 395, 396, 399
Yeah, I've taken a pic in that direction before. It just seems like there should be more buildings or something in the background. Maybe I'm imagining something else.

Is it my imagination or do these new GLC locomotives smaller fuel tanks than normal?

Re: GLC 395, 396, 399
Typical 2600 gallon tank for a GP38-2. A 3600 gallon tank would completely fill the space between the trucks. Some railroads opted for the 2600 gal, others opted for the 3600 gal...the same goes for GP40-2s. So, to answer your question, no it is not smaller than normal. You may just be used to seeing a 2600 gallon tank on a 56 ft GP35, while the 2600 gal tank on a 59 ft GP38-2 tends to look smaller, although its actually the same size, but the locomotive is longer.DLM wrote:Is it my imagination or do these new GLC locomotives smaller fuel tanks than normal?
And yes...that is CN 2141 4th back, ex-BNSF C40-8W...

I've also seen a few 38's and 39's with smaller tanks than the 2600 gal.Mr. Tops wrote:Typical 2600 gallon tank for a GP38-2. A 3600 gallon tank would completely fill the space between the trucks.

CSX GP38-2s 2556-2559 (ex-Durham & Southern) had 1700 gallon tanks. 56, 58 and 59 still have them, while 2557 now has a 3600 gallon tank. Other smaller railroads are similar.
