| Description: |
A General Electric ES44AC Tier 4 demonstrator idles in West Dallas at the head end of a Union Pacific intermodal pointed east. This solid blue demonstrator has a build date of June 2014 and features a redesigned engine hood section and larger angled radiators compared to standard GEVOs. General Electric considers this locomotive an ES44AC Tier 4 but Union Pacific calls this an EF44AC, the F meaning four to distinguish it from standard ES44ACs. |

GMTX 2327 |
| Description: |
A freshly painted GATX GP38-2 idles at the ready tracks after servicing in UP Davidson Yard. Delivered to Illinois Central as IC 3008 GP40 in February 1966, this unit would enter Illinois Central Gulf with the as delivered number as ICG 3008. In October 1987 Illinois Central Gulf sent this unit to VMV returning as ICG 3100 GP40R but would lose the G in ICG becoming IC 3100 in 1988. Illinois Central would store this unit at the Woodcrest, IL shop until it was sold to Locomotive Leasing Partners on August 31, 2000. Before entering the lease pool this GP40R was rebuilt again, repainted, and renumbered LLPX 2262 now a GP38-2. On September 25, 2014 this Geep entered the paint booth again, this time now part of the GATX Lease fleet as GMTX 2327. Most GP40s turned into GP38-2s retain their three radiator fans but this unit lost one and now has a noticeable gap between over the radiator grill and last fan. |
