CSS 2000 and 805 lead the Kingsbury South Job southbound just outside LaPorte on a brisk Monday, at the pond off of County Road 150 East. This is not a common power set for this turn. The SD38-2's usually don't make their way over here, so this was a nice treat. Especially after dark, when the train headed back north and blasted its old-cast P5 horn.

I had the opportunity to visit the NRE plant in Silvia, Illinois in 2019 before they closed the shop. Here we see CP units 3121, 3131, 5619 (StL&H), SF 3834, RLCX 8509 (LMX) and IC&E 6100.

In addition to the two former NS GP38-2s the FCRD owns, they also have two leased GC GP38-2s on the property. On 8/8/2022 both of them were seen working the port at Fernandina. To ordinary people, they likely wouldn't notice the difference between the FCRD and GC units due to the G&W paint adorned by both roads.

The daily FCRD local traverses through the final mile or so to the Yulee yard on 8/28/22. The two GP38-2s were former NS, and are the main power used on the local now.

Nebraska Central acquired four high hood GP38-2's from Wheeling and Lake Erie in 2022. They all received a nose job, but they worked as high hoods for few weeks as seen with two of them working the yard in Norfolk on the night switch job. The first of the four to receive a chop nose is in the background on the right.
