    They are trying to get away from the noise of the pusher unit(s). Otherwise you have to set there with your earplugs in for as long as you are around the thing. If you haven't ever been around it, it is LOUD! So if they use North American Cab they get away from the noise.

    Actually no, being when the rotary plows were repowered from steam to traction motors, they used F unit traction motors to power them, as there were hundreds of them around.

    The Snoot

    They have gotten rid of the snoot. It went to North Town, I think? They are the ones that wanted it.

    Another Snoot yard unit? Cool. Maybe they'll pair it up with the Midway intermodal snoot. It's good to be from MN.
