Wasnt I surprised when I pulled up and saw this guy switching instead of the usual MP15DC. This sure was a nice change. Also notice NS 361 getting ready to depart for Atlanta.

I work at debuts yard and have driven that engine. I always see you guys on that cliff but I don't understand the fascination with locomotives. Anyone care to explain? BTW that engine is no longer at debutts .

@Pubertbuttscotch Oh really cool. Im the one in the red ford ranger truck. But anyways about the engines, idk really i mean i like all the newer stuff personally but some of the older stuff is still nice too. Its just all that horsepower rolling by pulling miles of freight behind them.

NS has got a rather neat pair of Gensets, though I don't know if they've seen use yet, that are built much like a B unit. They're cabless and built for only remote control.
