Colorful, Old School, Minnesota Commercial's GE's -AMAZING K5LA Horn-
The Minnesota Commercial has LONG been known for its ALCo fleet, but with those now all gone, old GEs now rule the rails. While most of their fleet wears a classy coat of red paint, new additions to the roster have made things quite colorful!
In the last year, they acquired a former TTI unit, which has a nice white, and blue paint scheme. About ten years ago, they picked up a former LMX B39-8E. While the paint is now over ten years old, it is still holding up well. When that locomotive goes by you'll see its missing a screen over its rear radiator. Lastly, we'll have a unit which wears paint well over 20 years old, MNNR 48. We'll follow this cool looping trio on the Belt Job as it runs up ...

    Hello, Amtraker here so I'm outside the box, looks like those SD90s are being scrapped, and although they look perfect I'm assuming they've been problem childs. Kinda like the HHP-8 which gave Amtrak problems throughout their 10 year service.

    Plenty of souvenirs on those engines for railfans. Too bad they won't get pulled off and enjoyed by someone. Number boards; horns; control stands; ditch lights; headlights w/Number board panels; roof flashing beacon; class lights; door panels with CP RAIL & Flags/SOO on them, all would make good additions to someone's model train room. So sad.
