Now that is an interesting collection of power
|
That E9 on the right looks great, and it is obviously an ex-BN commuter engine, but does anyone know the source of the Conrail-like blue paint?
|
Nice! A lot to look over in this photo.

I see a Penn Central Geep in there too, looks great. What a cool picture.

I know locomotives cannot talk but I wish they could. Could you imagine the stories they would tell,the miles they have gone,the trains they have pulled?
|
Wow.. I wish I could take a walk around Larry's .. I bet alot of us do.
That E9 looks to be in great shape , I sure hope they dont scrap that, a museum or railway needs to purchase that unit and give it a new life .
|
What a nice place for camping! One could spend an entire week on this parking just to take one picture of each one of those beautiful machines. Thank´s a lot for the picture!
|
A little bit of Conrail blue is showing through on the NS Geep in the foreground
|
"I'll take that, one... oh and that one over there... right in the center."
If only it were that easy.

That Blue on the F-Units appears to be the retired/sold Grand Traverse Dinner Trainset?
|
By far the biggest collection of power Ive seen in one shot on this site.
Two thumbs up and a tip of the hat.
|
Sure glad to see that one of the former WC SW1200's is still around, of course just sitting around collecting dust. I had no idea the LTE had more then two former CNW Geeps in thier collection as well! As for the "Blue" E9, I am going to go ahead and say the number is 9912 or 9922 purchased back in 2003 or 2004.
|
I see a lot of retired DM&IR engines there.
|
Alot of old power in there, I see a E unit, some old Alco's and even a CNW GP9 High. Nice Pic!
|
Wow- and I always thought AUTO junk yards were fun to walk around in- I could spend all day here. Thanks for sharing an unusual location and a different photo from all the "portrait" roster shots.
|
This is a must visit location. You can look at over 30 years of North American railroading from one spot. And that trio of UP pups is an added bonus.
|
What's the prize for guessing correctly how many units are in the photo?
|
That E8 wouldn't happen to be a Great Northern unit, would it?
|
What I'd give to just take a walk around this place, very cool photo.
|
It appears to be a rebuilt GP9/GP20...I must have hit the wrong GEEP key on the keyboard....Thanks.
