Some GE exports in Norfolk wait to be loaded
Author: tiderail

Saw what looked like 10 GE units on flats waiting to go aboard ships. Beautiful paint on these. Export sales must still be good.

Man is it taking them long to leave the country.

They sat in Cleveland awile, weeks ago.

They're BB40-9Ws for use on narrow gauge, would guess that the Mozambique coal line they're being used on has the same sort of curvature as the NG lines they get used on in South America as the Vale/VL!/ALL BB40-9Ws have the same wide coupler pockets.
