That unit has seen better days. Nice picture though.

I'm probably a bit sentimental for my age (25), but it's always sad to see any locomotive in this state. Excellent photo though.

looks like she could have had a generator fire.

It's interesting that they renumbered this to 226... This is former AMTK 216, but renumbered due to a boxcar being numbered MMA 216. Having this renumbered didn't help much, because after 216 was scrapped, the real 226 showed up for the Poland program, thus MMA had another F40 #226.
To distinguish the two, aside from rust spots, one can see 216's squared off fuel tank whereas the 226 had the rounded tank.
