I took some pics and as the stack was leaving I put my camera away. when the end came by it had a refurbished NP caboose. Lesson Learned always wait till the end. You never know. Reply Edit Anonymous Member sinceApril 2003 305,205 posts Posted by Anonymous on Thursday, April 7, 2005 11:00 AM Years ago when driving home from a vacation in the UP of Michigan I passed a yard outside of Toledo which had a very plain blue C&O GP38 sitting idle. So I didn't even slow down. About a half mile down the road it dawned on me that there was only one exhaust stack! I quickly returned to the yard and found that yes indeed, there stood one of the very few GP39s produced. Later I stumbled upon a shortline in Dyersburg KY which was operating a "GP38" that sounded like a GP9. Only much later when comparing my photos to the Diesel Spotters Guide did I realize that I had seen a GP28.

I agree, any time you go near a railroad it is a good idea to have a camera available just in case something out-of-the -ordinary shows up. A friend and I were recently out railfanning the Norfolk Southern's ex N&W Shenandoah Division 2 weeks ago. We started in Hagerstown, MD where we noticed an NS freight sitting in the yard which was hauled by 3 Canadian Pacific 9000 series cowl units; I think the railfans colloquially refer to them as "Red Barns." That told us to be on the lookout for the train with visiting CP power. In fact, the first train we got that day was hauled by visiting UP power. To make a long story short our scanners told us the train with the CP power was on the way so we set up upstream from the N&W bridge in Shepherdstown, WV.

I wrote it on my PDA while waiting for UP's Z-CHEM Triple Crown train, which apparently came thru within minutes of me leaving [sigh].
