Hi, it's Polish machine SM42 alias "stonka" ("potato-beetle"). Some photos you can find on RP also - http://www.railpictures.net/showphotos.php?locomotive=SM42

It's great to see a working class guy making retirement standing on top. So many dont have that chance, being forced into retirement early due to injury, etc. in the rail industry.

Congratulations, Mikey!!!!!

Sid... I'm not surprised to see this as top viewed for the past 24 hours! This is a wonderful photo and I hope there is some way you can get a copy of it to "Mikey" to hang on his wall or place in his career scrapbook. Thanks for sharing this gem with us and I hope "Mikey" has a long, happy and healthy retirement!

I'd want to operate an SD50 on my last trip. One of my favorites!
