He wasn't serious. It's all going to be orange.
Not associated with GLLX in anyway or MQT or G&W. I just have a thing for the 02. OH BOY!

Re: Michigan Shortline Updates September 2013
I figured he wasn't serious, i'll be honest. I don't like the orange. Im just not too fond of it. I saw 3001 once on a norbound at night with no camera and it was 3rd unit back. I wanted to find it and shoot it so badly because I knew this day would come. That bites a little. *foamer problems*GLLX3002 wrote:He wasn't serious. It's all going to be orange.
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.

No, since the 3001 is no more they have a hard time on that grade. You see the magical powers of the 3001 and all it's greatness was harnessed from the paint job.

I have several, if I could upload them. Film at Grant, Casanovia, Comstock Park & Turner St, plus lots of pics from Vans, giving close-ups of the scheme. Darn internet...J T wrote:Yup, you suck.
They had 82 for Wyoming after the Vans pickup/setout.

I got a shot of them passing the caboose on Lamoreaux.

The 4433 is currently OOS, with an uncertain future. My guess is the 3003 is next, and the 3002 shortly thereafter.YpsiAmtrakBoy wrote:Is that GP9 that MQT/GLLX Have going to get the great pumpkin treatment? (Not the BNSF version however )
MQT 3389 will always be the great pumpkin on MQT.

Re: Michigan Shortline Updates September 2013
Z151 waited at market street signal for what I think was Q334 then proceeded thru the wye and to the yard. I was watching Q334 go by, and near the end of Q334 I thought, I thought really hard. I turned around, and darn. Trains really DO sneak up on you. In fact as soon as I realized the thing I had been chasing was right behind me, it was too late. The crew (I think Steven and Mike) highballed at Market before I could cross the tracks and get my shot. And I also learned that the Mobil 1 gas station area has weeds that are VERY obstructive to ANY shot there now. This engine hates me. My bad luck always happens with this one engine.

Darn they painted over the best one!!!! Why couldn't they have painted one of the awful gray ones? I've never even seen the MQT!!!! I just wish it wasn't so far to Grand Rapids etc.! Tomorrow (9-26) and Friday I'll be chasing the last few Rail America painted units in the tumb; though I've seen them many times!!!!
