Even though I have very few pictures of the current

operations, I can catch-up in a hurry. So what's "rare"

today? Certainly not any modern GE Unit or EMD unit.

The GPNW is home to many re-built GP30-35's. They

are photogenik but hardly get your juices flowing.

So I open up to any members suggestion as to what

is the "locomotive" worth chasing in 2013.

"Newly painted or freshly painted" locomotives are always
photogenik. BNSF re-paints locomotives at a very slow pace.
The loco's they dont repaint are the ones destined to be
turned in to the lessor soon. A lot of ex-ATSF GE's are going
to have an after-life in in some other part of the world.

Have to say I like the "looks" of SD70MAC's. Its got enough
"flared radiator" to give it that "SD45" look to compliment
an awesome and powerful looking locomotive. I also favor

the BNSF "Swoosh" paint scheme.

Fuck BNSF, also known as 2LARRCO! Assholes! Stinkin' bums... Lousy pricks! Know-nothing rat bastards! Take their stuppid 'swoosh' Nike copy-cat logo, and shove it up their ass! Ugliest paint scheme of any Class-I railroad... Except maybe LAMCO!

Well, they did fire his ass after he worked an extra four years for them that he didn't have to.

That's pretty fucked up.
