EMD Repower, at Cons Corner
Author: WrongWayMurphy

What seemed like an average UP freight pulled by average UP power
rolled by Tyler, Texas' Cotton Belt depot today.

But the the 4th unit in the pulling consist was an EMD REPOWER job.

Trainorders.com member MKT103 suggested this was an ex-KCS #2836.

At first I thought it had been tagged already on the rear, but it was only spaceship Earth..

Surprised to see it's still around, that was the first ECO prototype, I believe. The other one was a rebuilt GP9.

The rebuilt GP9 is now owned by FXE and based at Guadalajara, used on passenger trains and as a switcher.

Is 7101 an ex-DRGW GP40 type?
