    SD45T-2's keep earning their keep on the all EMD railroad...

    How long will it stay that way as the fleet continues to age and no new EMD products on the market..?​

      I *might* have a few SD70M-2 's in WMRC paint for sale. I did have a handful of SD40M-2's for sale, but Brody swiped those. Haha​

      Also, NBSR is officially selling off their SD40-2 fleet, if you'd like them patched and sent your way.

        You can rebuild at least 2 to 3 times with different generations of ECO rebuilds. Frame will fail long before the engines fail.

          More of the CPAC roadrailer train and a ICR unit oil headed for US Oil in Tacoma WA.

            With RY2/YR1 being as needed, job RC2 heads towards Beecher Falls with 35 empty chip cars, and some local cars to be spotted along the way. This crew will meet CR1 at Fabyan and swap trains.

              Nice shots, Shawn. The route looks vaguely familiar, but can't recognize it. Is it a personal route?

                Thank you!
                It's the MEC Mountain Division route I've been working on, off and on for the past couple of years..

                  I run this beast so often, but got tired of the solid blue; had to break up the monotony a bit. I don't know how you talented skinners/painters do this stuff, but just this was a 2 day project for me! LOL And, my lines are not 100% matched around the meeting edges.

                            "Headin out to San Francisco for the Labor Day weekend show..."
                            "Yes, it's been quite a summer. Rent-a-cars and westbound trains."

                            CPAC C44ACMs 5515 and 6134 (the latter an ex-COER rebuild) lead a westbound business train from Sparks to Oakland for some Bay Area Labor Day festivities. The leader wears a crew-applied tribute sticker honoring the passing of Jimmy Buffett, who passed away the Friday of Labor Day weekend last year.
                            We caught the train at the west end of Truckee, then once more at West Norden.
