    Had someone point me to this. Their new SD70ACe units are starting to come out of the paint shop. Should be heading to home turf soon.

    Class Unit #4300

    :D

    Sounds like you have a camera handy? So maybe if you catch some pix, we'll be able to see them?

    Of course. [​IMG] But i shoot slide film and there's not anyone here and Butte that can develop slide film, so I usually sent it off and it takes a few weeks.

    You may still be able to get slide film developer kits .. I'm not sure as I have not used one for several years. But, they are easy to use and provide everything from chemicals to film reel to mounting frames. Developing slides can be done in a bathroom ... it does not take any appreciable space. [​IMG]

    The link didn't work, but I went to the main Rail IMages page & found the pic on the front page. I double-clicked on it- it looks sweet!!!!

    Well, they've taken the link down since last evening. Dunno why.

    Popups? You have a browser problem. I get none with my setup.

    None here yet. 4300 has left CEECo. But was still in Tacoma at last report. No word if it's being held until others are ready. Or will be enroute alone.

    I'm wondering if there'll be some sort of ceremony in Missoula when it arrives?

    MRL fans in Idaho and western Montana should be on their toes today. The first SD70ACe will be hitting home rails. Will probably be in Missoula this afternoon.

    Am sure some dignitaries will be out to inspect their new toy. Maybe even some sort of brief "ceremony." Who knows?

    :D

    Also a prime time to shoot the REAL SD45's....
    They may drop from the roster real quick-like methinks, when the ACez hit home rails....

    All the more reason I look forward to my Montana move!
