John Teeter General Ah yes; good to see the Grand Lady is still running. 5/21/2016 8:52:40 PM
Steve Coraggio General Great history, WE 3046 doesn't have the long porches like SD 40-2's 5/22/2016 10:44:33 AM
John Teeter General Steve -- even more history! 3046, previously EMD 434G, is the oldest SD40 still operating. She is the last of the demonstrators. And about 25 miles from my house resides the first SD40, EMD 434, now IC 6071. 5/22/2016 1:20:41 PM
