I saw Conrail SW1500 NS 2222 on H33 today. The MP15DC's might be in the Reading or Allentown Yard. 2415 was the common one in this area. I have not heard 2406 in ages.
the last time I caught 2222 was at Wyomissing Jct months ago. But I miss those MP15DCs, very unique engines. I haven't seen one since the end of summer. come to think of it, it was so long ago I was using my gf's Kodak camera to record videos, and they wouldn't even all fit LOL
There are 10 SW1001's, and I have seen most of them, 57 SW1500's, and 87 MP15DC's. Your odds at a switcher being an MP15DC is higher than the odds of seeing an SW10/15.
Some engineers like tapping the horn a few or more times after they blow their first 2 long long blows and tap before they blow the last long coming toward a crossing..I have seen that on occasion..
Awsome love them MP15DC's look great

I think it's interesante that he blew 6 extra times, I have seen 6 to 8 horns but never 10!

Yeah interesting engineer..I personally like when engineers lay on good sounding horns for crossings etc..
