PASSING TRAINS PT 42; A NEW MEMBER LEADS SND40 PT1

 Last weekend, a special unit was released in time for Veteran's Day...

The former GECX 2032, is now AP&W's Salute to Service unit.

The Department of Defense insignia is on both sides of the nose.

All six of the main service insignia's are on the flanks, surrounding the outline of the United States, with "Defending America" and "Salute To Service" across the outline.

Now, after being on display during the week in support of our nation's veterans, 2032 leads a westbound SND40 on her first revenue trip!

Her companion: POW/MIA unit 530. A great tribute to our nation's Armed forces!

A company photographer records the event, as 2032 and 530 lead SND40 through Hillsdale.

AP&W ET44AC 2032.

AP&W ET44AC 530.

And BNSF C44-9 4562, bringing up the rear; note the replacement a/c unit from a Warbonnet-painted unit.

The head-end rolls off, heading out of town. More of SND40 next week.
