Some say it's going to the Indiana Southern, others say the waybill has it going to the Tazwell & Peoria.

It was originally going to the ISRR, but it is currently billed for TZPR.

Down the tracks? In another town not too far away?

Does anyone know where this GP38AC is (as of 5-16)? :?: It's gone from Ottawa Yard! I hope it stays "Black!" Man, I wish I was there to get pix of the old "Classic" CM 8802!!!!


Here's a picture my Dad (RCJ I) took of more "Classic" CM locos, Bay City, 2-2002 (I was there): Image

I know CMGN 8903 went to Mexico, 2012! I was just showing a picture of a "Classic" Central Michigan®! I am wondering about the current location of HESR 8802!!!! :?:
I also hope that GP38AC will stay in the same "Black" colors and numbers! This is now the last "Active" unit (of DM/LSRC/CMGN) with the "Year/Month" system of purchase!
