@mutanay77: Don't know what the rules are, but not a bad idea for safety's sake, to let someone on the other side of the portal know, or in case someone had wandered in there.
Every time you see a solo engine or a light power move on a mainline, it's either transferring power to a different region, going to help a train, or coming back from helping a train.
WOW thats akward i ahve never ever seen a lone GEVO on the Loop!! quite interesting isnt it! love the horn on it the crossings bell sound awful!! wow so it was desending for an assest on the stack train there
I have a scanner, AND I got lucky. The conductor radio'd in for a helper, and few minutes later, pair of BNSF Dash 9's descended from Cliff. When it didn't stop at Bealville, I chased it down to Caliente, then this GEVO showed up, which I didn't expect.
It blows at tunnle two because tunnle two curves awerness is key in tunnle two

Must be an older GEVO, it doesn't have an E-bell on it.

#5467 has a build date of April 2005, and went into service for the UP the next month, so yeah, old for a GEVO.
