Nice photo, Mike and I always appreciate an informative write-up.
|
I guess they think it's cheaper to repaint than wash their power.
|
At Thousands of dollars per locomotive, no mistakes can be made. These painters make the locos look as awesome as they do. Thanks for the photo & write-up, Mike. Such info is well received.
|
I knew this would happen one day. All the old UP gevos I saw numbered in the 5200 series to the 5600 series were really dirty and the flags on most of them were faded
|
Nick, these are Brand New GE locos, not old gevos!
|
Steve: Actually, Nick is correct. No. 5401 was built in 2005, and is seen here getting repainted after a rebuild.
|
Thanks again, Mike. I needed to be corrected. I will try & put better educated comments on here from now on. Sorry for any hurt feelings, Nick.
|
Mike & Nick, If I am correct, isn't a GEVO a GE evolution style loco or GEVO? Correct me if I am still wrong, but I think I finally have it figured out. Thanks for your patience to put up with an ignorant new rail fan.

Yep. "Gevo" Means GE Evolution. ;)
