I like how GDLK has been swapping out the Z439 power over the past few months between the Wisconsin Southern unit, the Geep 35s, and now the 4225. Nice shots, Muskegon. I got some great photos of one of the Geep 35s at the exact same spot a month or so ago, but I stood on the south side of the tracks to get the Sligh Furniture factory in the background.
