Grabbed the 5000th GEVO this past Wednesday evening passing thru Cedar Rapids. My report-- http://easterniarail.blogspot.com/2012/07/5000th-gevo.html
5,000? Wow, I had no idea that many GEVOs had been built. The flash really makes those reflective strips stand out. :startled:
That seems completely incredible. When one remembers that more than 20 years were necessary to build ~6700 samples of the famous F-Unit, or 16 years for a little less than 4000 samples of the equally famous SD40-2.... How long ago did the GEVOs appear? 5 years? 6 years, 7 years? Even if these and their EMD counterparts SD70ACe/M2 are very renowned, it's difficult for me to trust this. Dom
