Ahhhh.... the sweet smell of LUCK!!! So far I've been getting lucky as all getout, just about everywhere I went this month I've been able to railfan, parking at truckstops right next to the tracks has yielded some interesting finds. Today, I parked at yet another truckstop (hehehe) and caught these two Gensets before they left out. Enjoy the fruits of my labor. 3/31/2010 La Porte, TX Railpower RP20GE's    |

Chris, these are ex MP B23-7's, I don't like the type of gensets that Atlas came out with, I am going to wait for someone to come out with this type, preferably in the Athearn Genesis line (one could only wish).  Believe me, I don't really like Gentsets, GEVO's and ACe's because of the whole global warming nonsense that brought these units to life, other than that, I do like the shapes of them, bring back the Mac's, AC4400CW's and all the rebuilt loco's of the past. I talked to the Conductor of this train, and he said these units are alright, not the best thing since sliced bread though, and they have four diesel engines each. |

Scott, do you ever see a company called Katoen Natie, on the north side of 225, they have a fairly big stub ended yard there, thats where I picked up my load from. So I was in your neck of the woods. lol |

Glenn,
Yeah I am very familiar with Katoen Natie, as we are the railroad that works them, not really my neck of the woods, I live in Katy but work on the east side of Houston for the Port Terminal Railroad.
