Nice catch milineamtrak. Hope someone knows the story behind it. Looks like a straight GP7. Looks like they're involved in the steel industry among other things. No locations in MI :?

Looks almost like it has CLNA (Carolina Coastal Railway) reporting marks

Came in on a train with just frames on Friday. It came in from the OC side into Sterling, I caught it at lunch.

This engine was shipped by the BNSF. Theres no blue card in it, but there is is FRA paperwork for movement onboard. The unit needed more work to make it road worthy ( NEVER should have made it this far ! ). Cool unit, dual old style control stands, whistle cord hanging from the roof.
