Is the WMR needing more power for more carloads? Or just the GLLX unit that is already there is getting tired?SD80MAC wrote:The GLLX 4 (SW9) went to Hartford in March.

Re: Ex-NS B32-8s in Lansing
The unit(s) will only go to Hartford (if they do) because the owner of GLLX is also the owner of the WMI.kd_1014 wrote:Is the WMR needing more power for more carloads?

Is this the only ex-NS engine on the property? Any ideas on the reporting mark?gbw wrote:another pic. 539, was 3539

Far as I can see, only 1 unit there, it's in the back, no access, can't see marks

Thanks. Is it visible from the road? (I have a zoom lens).gbw wrote:Far as I can see, only 1 unit there, it's in the back, no access, can't see marks

It's pretty visible from the road, the cab is facing Miss Scarlet and it's under a yellow crane looking thing, not sure what the yellow thing does but it's usually just sitting under thatNS3322 wrote:Thanks.

Re: Ex-NS B32-8s in Lansing
While driving on I-475 thru Flint over the weekend, I spotted an ex-NS B32-8 at the Stoneco facility there. I am assuming the old power in Lansing and Flint will be sent to Hartford soon?
I also forgot to share my photo of the B32-8 in Lansing. The reporting marks are NIWX, which is for Northern Illinois & Wisconsin Railway.
