sighting...

[Mookie]

Driver spotted - #251 Montana Rail Link SD 40-2 (YR or XR - can't read his writing)

Navy Blue with wide and medium slashes.

This was in North Lincoln - probably a run-through - but anyone have any bits of info on this railroad?

Check out their website

They are a class II RR.

They have a real assorted collection of power considering they don't really have that many loco's compared to the class one's.

They are also a sister company to Southern Railway of BC that runs in British Columbia from New Westminster to Chilliwack (about a 70 mile mainline) Class III.

They are all owned by the Washington Group - Same people that own Seaspan.

(Southern Railway of BC has the exact same loco paint scheme all blue with the white stripes.

I do like their color scheme! That's very interesting - hopefully I will get to see one of their engines first hand. Now I will know what to tell the driver about what he saw.

Thanx
