QUOTE: Originally posted by Lyon_Wonder reminds me of BN's rebuild program in the late 80s and early 90s of having GP30/35s rebuilt into GP39E/M/Vs. BN even had old Southern and N&W high hood GP30s rebuilt with kitbashed GP35-style cabs.

Hunter - When we met in January of 2000, you were just a 6 week old pup who walked his way into this heart of mine as the only runt in the litter who would come over to me. And today, I sit here and tell you I am sorry we had to put you down. It was the best thing for you and also the right thing to do. May you now rest in peace and comfort. Love, Dad. 8 June 2010
I love you and miss you Mom. Say hi to everyone up there for me. Rest in peace and comfort. Love, John. 29 March 2017
