Huron & Eastern just got a new engine it is HESR 2145 and it’s a GP38-2 my YouTube channel is Railroading Fan I posted the video on 3-19-2019

This is the link to the video with HESR 2145.

To help make this thread stand out a little more, could you add "Receives New Locomotive" to the title? (Or something of the like?)

I just saw MQT 3391 & MQT 3390 going northbound in flushing Michigan

Train location updates should be posted in that forum. Here is the link to the current Michigan Shortlines Update thread for the current month.

Also the 3390 and 3391 both still carry the MQT logos but are officially lettered for the HESR.

I know 3391 & 3390 are Huron & Eastern engines same with 3044 & 3045.

Where did the 2145 come from? Is it a repaint, did it come from another G&W property or is it a new acquisition?

HESR 2145 is a repaint I’m guessing it’s a X NS

HESR is supposed to be getting two fresh rebuilt GP38-2s, ex NS units that have had their noses chopped like the current one they have. When those arrive, 3390 is supposed to go back to Marquette Rail, and two HESR units are supposedly going to be transferred to the Otter Tail Valley as well. All subject to change, of course!

Okay. That’s good to know thanks for the information.

Agreed. Thank you SD80MAC.

The 3044 and 3045 are reportedly the units going to Otter Tail Valley.

HESR 3414 is now active also.

The dog in that video is a foamer.

CN picked up the HESR 3044 today in Durand.

I know CN L502 picked up HESR 3044 yesterday.

The 3045 is still on HESR. I saw it on 740 last week in Saginaw.

HESR 2144 was delivered last week. It was shipped NS/AA/GLC to Durand. Its the former NS 5112.
