Sounding more like a overgrown tractor than most GEs, these were always neat to find. Looks like the hostler is moving her to the ready track in the "field".

Originally L&N this unit is actually CSX at this point but they didn't letter yet so it's fair SBD game in my book. Note the wimpy little tank. EMD reduced the length to decrease capacity, GE th... (more)

I didn't see this very often. Four of the rebuilds bring up an inbound ballast train. This was the spot. Almost everything passed by the washer.

I think this is the only one of two of the 38s I got in SBD paint and in its original number series. An ex-L&N unit.

It's so close....., but bad clone tool, evil clone tool!
