Western Railroad Discussion > Monday Meets: Hello John Deere 544j

Poking some fun on a crummy, overcast day. This ain’t exactly 2 trains meeting for ‘Monday Meets’. But doesn’t the meeting of 2 internal combustion diesel engines count? Oh Deere John, I guess I have stretched things a bit…

3. I’d like y'all to meet Mr John Deere model 544j! Not exactly a RR locomotive. It is however, a diesel…
