I seen the same type of loco yesterday.

[amtrakboy627]

Nice. Do you railfan?

[Andrewsaxamophone]

Whoah, Safetran Type 1 bell out in Cali! Nice!!!

[amtrakboy627]

It's pretty unique! Thanks for the comment!

There was no 2000. The class started with CDTX 2001 and ends with 2015.

[amtrakboy627]

Really? Wow. All this time I thought there was a #2000. So I'm guessing there is no Cabcar #8300 and #6960?

[kodachrome9319]

2015 is in Beech Grove for repairs along with 2010. Its the overhaul. 205x (2 I think) went East on #6 the other day.

[amtrakboy627]

Thanks for the info! Do you know about #2000?

[CSXRP]

That is a great sounding K5LA! I really want to catch a genesis engine.

[amtrakboy627]

It was pretty sweet. Just come down here and you'll get plenty.

[CSXRP]

Yeah but its a 72 hour drive Lol. I'm going to subscribe to you.

[amtrakboy627]

LOL. Thanks!

[CSXRP]

My pleasure.

Caught her on the Zephyr in Emeryville and yet to catch her working on the San Joaquins.

[amtrakboy627]

She's a good unit. You have seen her before. Right? I'm pretty sure you have. Thanks for the comment!

[SF3751]

Awsome shot, you out today? I'm headed to Fresno, and while down there hope to catch the 712 and 13. Hopefully #188 will be on the northbound, she sounds great.

[amtrakboy627]

Thank you. No Sunday. P42DC #188 will be coming up to you.

[SF3751]

#2010 lead today. All vids will be up soon. There was a dead bird on the 712!

[SF3751]

LOL, I thought you wanted to see #2015? I want to see #188 today! But #2010 showed up, which was fine.

[amtrakboy627]

I want to see both! #2010 was last seen by me in Jan. when I didn't have very much equipment. And #2015 was last pulling when I saw him on 12-31-07! But I've seen him pushing.

[SF3751]

I need to do the same.

[pahogger]

Nice sun light on this one, good job!

[amtrakboy627]

Yup. The unit also looks cool. Thank you.

[UPTurner]

[Squawk7600]
