    Hi all.

    I never did get a chance to upload anything last week after the Server move.

    So this week, I'll get back on track.

    this is a very bad phone camera picture. Roseville Yard. Sitting at the end of a line of former MP/MKT GP39-2s that were heading back to the leasor. Gennesee and Wyoming family of railroads obviously, but I'm not sure which one.

    It's a GP15. You can't tell from this picture, but I noted as I drove by. The nose bell tells me it's former Chicago and Northwestern. I believe Cal Northern had some ex-C&NW GP15s, so that's my guess, but I couldn't read the name.

    If so, she's likely just coming back from being painted.

    I agree about the heritage of that GP15. At least right now I cannot think of another original nose bell user.

    Some more ARR. This is the daily train that runs between Talkeetna and Hurricane.

    Looks like power on the far end? Push-pull operation?

    Yeah, they seem to be running all of their passenger trains that way. That was FP-40 #31 on the other end.
