Photographed these two R J Corman/RailPower GG-20B locomotives on Corman's Versailles, KY line today. These are diesel/battery powered hybrid locomotives with one Cat 300 hp diesel/generator set, but otherwise battery powered locomotives that are supposed to develop 2000hp. Corman purchased RailPower a couple of years ago, but has yet to build or sale any of the locomotive designs offered by RailPower. Here we have front and rear views of RJC 2406 in the official Corman paint
Then we have front and rear views of RSSX 414. Can't confirm it, but I'm guessing that the lease with Rail Serve expired and they returned it to Corman. Will no doubt get the RJC paint job in the near future and if no buyer or lessor found, it will end up on one of Corman's operations. Note the missing rear headlight on the RSSX unit.
