Old Geep 40 |
| Description: |
Todays transfer will be lead by IC 3115, an 43 year old GP40. Trailing is a POS Dash 8 CM. It looks like the 3115 recently got a new door, and had some work done to the latches on the front. |

Same power as yesterday, but this time it wasn't as dark out, and I was able to get a well lit up shot of IC 1016. Check out the back "numberboards". |
