Nice photo! This line is probably in far better shape than when the Rock had in before they close down. Looks like the line also sees here blue and white units again, but they're nothing the Rock ever rostered!

Nice shot! My friend just sent me photos of their newly-acquired Ex-Conrail GP38's.

Some thing is funny about this unit, There were not any as built low hood GP7s. It has a GP20 type nose, Must be several units put together>

Actually, no. The 400 had been Rock Island #1275, and was the only RI unit on the IAIS roster. It was one of two GP7's that the Rock rebuilt with low noses following accidents. Great shot.

Great shot! 6 years and now they have the GP7's replaced by GEVO's, pretty dramatic change.

To add to Jeff Carlson's comment, the 400 was rebuilt the first time by the RI at which point it received an EMD factory low nose with sloped top, as opposed to the flat-top Paducah rebuild chop noses. It was rebuilt a second time by the IAIS following another grade crossing accident, and in that work, it received a new long hood from IAIS (ex-ICG) GP8 7976. It reentered service following that rebuild in January 2002.

The middle two units look like they came from Locomotive Leasing Partners, based on the numbers, but hard to see if they're the SD 38's I recall. The 2807 was on the NYSW for several years prior to going to IAIS. Home page 07-18-2021
