Close, but no cigar :( Would you believe I have shots of 4638 and 4640?

I'll post what I have soon!

Here's #4638 idling in the yard in Raleigh:

Here's my first encounter with # 4640: screaming past me (~40mph) as I stood trackside near the old Spencer Shops:

Here's a front 3/4 view of # 4640 at the fuel racks in Raleigh, N.C.:

Hi All,

A few years ago, I remember that they had a NS Operation Lifesaver GP-59 Unit at Spencer for Rail Days, and I got to Sit in the engineers seat and play engineer (blow horn, ring bell, etc) and just all around have fun. I also remember when they took GP-59 4610 to Spencer before they painted it Green and Gold. That engine is cool. BTW, everyone needs to make it out to Spencer for Rail Days (if they can), cause, its going to be great. Thanks
