Wounded in the line of duty and headed for some TLC.
Gotta love them colors. The Decals are from the supporting unions that work on the locomotives.
I might be mistaking the model and if I do, I apologize, they all look alike to me. The reporting marks came up as NIWX.
By far the most attractive lines of the hood units!
Power ties onto an ethanol train at Lake St.
Shimmering armour yellow lineup. The C&NW heritage diesel was in the yard, but not accessible. To me, anyway.
UP 5324 sits inside the wheel truing part of the shop after having its wheels trued.
The newest addition to the UP roster is this little bugger. An all original NRE built genset switcher, not re-using any cores or frames. Here it is pausing between jobs at Proviso yard.
Parts.
Look closely and you will see NS C40-9Ws, WC and HLCX SD45s, a Milwaukee "Bandit" MP15, a CN SD70I, UP and CN SD40-2s, a UP SD38, UP SD70Ms, UP C40-8Ws, and a B&P GP9.
A cold January day with just a dusting of snow. Union Pacific (and other pre-UP vintage) locomotives are becoming more common at Proviso.
The last 3 C&NW locomotives gather to take MPRSS out of Proviso to S. St. Paul. Now they are down to 2.
A very nice visitor to the Chicago area. Basking in the sun at the Proviso Mat. yard.
In all it's splender in the Winter sun awaiting a trip to CO.
A Christmas gift from NRE
