IN THE YARDS, VISITORS

Hillsdale Yard has some visitors...

A set of NS engines sits in the yard, one track over from 3163.

The first unit is  SD60E 911, making a return trip to Hillsdale.

The second unit is SD60E 6963, painted with GO Rail graphics -and lime green cab roof! Note that it also has a larger fuel tank than 911.

A closer look at 6963's graphics. GO Rail is an initiative to promote increased shipping by rail. I saw this unit here in Lynchburg, Va. while it was on its way to D.C. for it's "official" unveiling in 2014.

The third unit is ES40DC 7515. Note that this unit has yet to be updated with PTC, unlike the other two. It still has its original antenna domes; the small one is for the GPS, while the big one covers all the communication antennas.

The heavy-duty flatcar is back with its newly refurbished generator. It will now head back east to its new owner.
