Nice shot Steven, those new Gevo's sure are a gem.

Please tell me they had to send out a couple of SD40-2's to rescue him!

So what exactly is the advantage of these units? Wonder how long till they get sent back to G.E. to have 2 more traction motors installed?

Beautiful shot Steven.

The rooftop light looks like HID lighting like the "tuners" are putting on their import hot-rods. What's next spinners or maybe some neon in the undercarriage for a train? The neon could give off an interesting glow.
I was kind of hoping to see if the center wheel really lifted off the rail like was mentioned in the photo of 6602 last week. Interesting concept from GE but I guess they'll have to be more careful where they stop a train.

Nick: They had two more GE's behind a test car and the techs and conductor just started them up to pull the hill.
Byrnsy383: From my understanding these are made for high-speed Z trains.

So how many headlights, foglights and spotlights did you use to illuminate your subject Steven?

These are actually classed as ES44C4's.

Nice!

I thought six-axle units were classified as C-C...

The bright light above the windshield are the number boards (LED's)

IIRC, these units are classed as A1A's...
