Well the Open House was a hugh success. Tons of people were there. [:D] [;)] [:D] One thing really stood out to me. Now I am not trying to pick on GE but (lol) most of the engines being overhauled there were GEs. [}:)] [:p] [:)] I wonder if that is why the specially painted engine for North Little Rock's Celebration was an EMD? [:D] They wouldn't let you go up in the cab of any locos. [:(] [V] I have never been in a wide cab and was crossing my fingers that I would get to see inside one. When we took the school bus tour through the yard I tried to take some pics. I am not sure how they will turn out as the road was bumpy and the driver was driving kind of fast. I saw a good mix of engines from other railroads and a bunch of leased units. There were a bunch of leased units with the UP name and number with a white line through them and the leasing company's name on them. What I don't understand about that is why? If there is a power shortage why is UP selling locos? I saw a CN unit and some ex Conrail units now owned by a leasing company. There was a NS GE unit being overhauled and some older SP units that were also GE. The CN unit and the ex Conrail units were in the yard and not being worked on. They were being serviced and readied for pulling a train.
