This is Grand Rapids & Indiana Dash9-44 CW 2012.
She's not quite finished yet but I thought a progress pic was in order.The GR & I was a real railroad that at one time ran from South Bend Ind. to the northern tip of Michigan's mitten.The rr has been a fallen flag since (according to my source) 1910 when the NYC bought it.There is a fellow in Indiana that is resurecting the GR & I in Indiana in HO and since my Grande Valley uses the origonal GR & I yard in GR for it's headquarters I could not resist a few GR & I locos. :mrgreen:
[Edit] according to what I was just reading it was the Pennsylvania that bought the GR & I .To show you how far out of wack Wickpedia is it says in there that the railroad ran on the eastern side of the state.
