I would like the AC6000. The Monon is interested in some more higher-power units, and I think this would bee a good start.

All five for 700 grand is a deal! You can route them to your yard in Toledo, my transfer train will pick them up when they come to drop off your interchange cut whatever day they get there.

Unit from AnnPere to Barr is due in Barr late tomorrow night. This is because the Lansing local will be doing the pickup instead of a road train. Then it's got to be send to Wyoming then re-classified to be sent to Barr.

Otherwise, it'd be that amazingly fast time of sometimes less than 16 hours :lol:

AA has purchased 12 SW1500s from LTE, along with 10 GP38-2s. These are to be placed in yard and local service.

this is the second time that we have had gp38-2s and sw1500s on our roster, we bought these because we needed more engines for yards an locals of course

last week our shops had to do a tune up on a GP38-2, and they decided to do a little "Heritage paint" as a nood to when the DT&I owned the AA

This unit has been returned to "ANN ARBOR" paint

Remember the WCSR owns the rights to the Wabash paint scheme. But it is fine if you use it, Im kinda anxious to see what it looks like on an AA unit! :)
