[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by UPTRAIN</i> <br /><br />Jim spied this in North Little Rock UP Yard today, he wanted to know what it was. After some research by me, I know for sure it is an Israel Railways unit, I'm thinking G12, maybe a G16. Jim said it was 4 axle, but they sometimes switch trucks out en route. It's heading from Houston, Texas to Mount Vernon, IL, National Railway Equipment Company. It is loaded on flatcar OTTX 97030. Maybe somebody can confirm what model it is. <br /> <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Thank you!! This is great news. As an Israeli railfan I was looking for this loco for four months now, since it was shipped to the U.S.A. with five G12 engines. <br />Photos from Ashdod port, just before departure from Israel were published (by a friend railfan) in Railpictures.net. <br />See it here: http://www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.php?id=117295 <br />being lifted to the ship. <br /> <br />Have you spotted the G12's by any chance? <br /> <br />
