Bummer. Well, at least you got to be there while it lasted.

Hey! I had fun? Right?

They were an excellent rebuild locomotive, and ran well with little maintenance problems according to what I heard. Some of them were sold to even Amtrak for service. The engine and its paint scheme had special brightness than made it a one of a kind, sad to see it go away!

Yes it is. There better then GE, thats for sure

BTW Do u live in Canada?

cool, nice train

Ya! It sucks that I don't see them anymore. :(

Nope, I reside at present in Michigan, at a town of South Haven, taking care of mom, who is 90+ and still in her own cottage lakefront home. My dad and I were avid model railroaders since the 1960's. Dad is gone but his train layout remains and I keep it operating.

I do the horrible thing in American, "Land of the free," where it is considered illegal to photograph now passing trains, I have picture of....t-r-a-i-n-s...wow terrible!

I owned stock in a short-line railroad with a diner train and freight service, where I worked part-time for fun mostly as a conductor 6 years running. So diesel oil, and creosote pumps in my veins!

Nice story. Your Bio remind me of this guy who owns a model train store. Not far where I live. He 65 years old right now. But his store is awesome and he has the same Bio as you have. :) Like the same life story

Well they have those locos in HO scale and the reason why they are takeing them away is that they put too much fumes in the air and they don't have the parts to repair them. It's like the IHB's SD20s are going away soon too.

Believe me! GE puts more of "too much fumes" then EMD. EMD engines are more cleaner and earth friendly then GE engines.

Plus! I like the engine's carbody. Looks much better then today's commuter locos.
