GP9 in 2009 |
| Description: |
Wow, my second GP9 of 2009, and 2009 is only 12 days old! One can only imagine what this unit has seen. I love that NP style bell on the nose. I had just enough time to shoot of this shot because a cut of cars headed for the hump would soon block this view. |

The 6455 has some red paint comming through on the grills, maybe it used to be a kodachrome or bicentennial unit. The 6469 has seen better days too, I first saw that unit back in 2003 at the diesel shops. Even these units are stored for the surge fleet, it doesn't look good for them since their number boards are gone. Taken with permission. |
