Remarks & Notes 
It's two years after the Bicentennial and the bloom is definitely off the rose. We had high hopes for these rebuilds but they didn't work out with only two being done. Here the unit is hosteling another albatross around the engine facility. GE did iron the bugs out of the FDL engine in another decade or so.

Railroading in the 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, basically anything but the 2000s.
