    Heard that CONRAIL's WPMA-40x was using the ex SOO engine on the grain run to Absecon Mills. Made it down to the piers as they were shoving into the siding.

These two cars were in the consist.

Got a retired Walthers GP15-1 from the cellar back on the layout. Added a new decoder, some oil, some details and some weathering.

ps. I retired all Walthers GP15 when the Genesis GP15 became available but I did never actually buy a Genesis BN GP15. It would not fit into my SoCal layout at that time. I will shop for a Genesis BN GP15-1 when the none white face version is available.

The two newest candidates for rebuilding and upgrading on their way to the Midwest Trainsportation Systems shops to be transformed into GVR units.

For those that are curious they are old Athearn blue box locos and both run rather well but will still get some improvements. :mrgreen:

Catt,

What happened to the load of beer from the Flying Fish Brewery? Drew Patrick Beverages was expecting a return shipment of Stroh's. Wink Oh well, just a long as those per diem charges keep rolling in.
