No seventies on the point today. Amtrak 27 was a good catch. I think I like the new paint but maybe not the Siemens power. Bill webb

Lots of good variety catches here Larry. Happy Halloween. Can’t really get too excited about the type of unit on the Amtrak train

Thanks Bill and Brian for your interesting and nice comments. I hear you Brian on the Amtrak power. Much appreciated to you both!

LARRY,
Too ill today to comment on your nice BNSF posting.
Plan to see doctor tomorrow.
Regards,
MARK

Sorry to hear that Allen. Hoping for your speedy recovery!

Ditto the comment of no seventies leading.  The Chargers on Amtrak I feel are an improvement over the GE Genesis engines, certainly in the new paint which is a big improvement over the Shamoo scheme.  Best catch in my view was the "Sticker" unit leading.  Thanks for posting.

Nice update and bunch of great lashups, Larry!  I am having a hard time getting used to the ALC42s on the Buildder.
