I believe the GDLK may be at the GRE yard currently -- heard something passing Leonard a few minutes ago but didn't see anything at the crossing when I went to look.

I taped a bunch of leaves and halloweeenie stuff on it this morning when we tied her down. We are going for a new theme train call the frankenstien train. It will feature technicolor units each with there own heritage scheme...amtrak1007 wrote:Might wanna come out and see the z151 today... I hear she's dressed for fall.

I knew the day would come...but sad it has....
I wish they at least kept the number, so my username would work. Apparently not!
Re: Michigan Shortline Updates September 2013
They are using the G&W numbering scheme. I think she looks beautiful and I can't wait for the rest of them to be painted.
Not associated with GLLX in anyway or MQT or G&W. I just have a thing for the 02. OH BOY!

Now the 3001 has gone, they can paint as much as they'd like. I guess we'll be seeing some real matched Marquette Power in the near future.GLLX3002 wrote:They are using the G&W numbering scheme. I think she looks beautiful and I can't wait for the rest of them to be painted.

Re: Michigan Shortline Updates September 2013
Your name never worked! It was GLLX 3001! The MQT was your own thing that G&W was not going to keep the number just so some random kid could keep his forum username.MQT3001 wrote:Uh-oh!

According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way a bee should be able to fly. Its wings are too small to get its fat little body off the ground. The bee, of course, flies anyway because bees don't care what humans think is impossible.
