Nice sun lit shots.  They sure do look nice when you can still smell the paint.  This unit is getting around the system quickly--it was in Wagoner OK May20 on its way to North Platte.

Did the consist get turned at Grant Tower or are my eyes playing a trick on me? Both shots appear to be from the west looking east. Splendid photos.

Yes! Much to my surprise, it passed my vantage point (at 4th North crossing) twice in ten minutes! 

Hostlers tied it to the head end of an eastbound train. It may be headed back to North Platte.

I'm getting old.  Seems like only yesterday the 9000 series were all GE's.  Nice photos.

James - Beautiful photos. Thanks for posting.
