Nice photos. Thanks for sharing.
Are the other two GP18s getting the same treatment?
Where is the 1804 kept? I'm not at all familiar with the Perk.

Dear Mr. Birdy,

She has not been rebuilt. Just repainted with a few small fixes.

Nice photos Dick! That UP unit lead a 36Q in Tuesday into Allentown. I saw it at Wyomissing briefly that morning.

Great paint job, and excellent autumn photos. Thanks for the addition here. I hope they keep it nice and clean; it looks really good.

The GP18s were rebuilt in the early 90's, so they are a little more modern than the 52 years since leaving LaGrange.
