Eastern Railroad Discussion > Some LIRC from today

This morning I heard that the Louisville & Indiana was about to send a northbound to Speed Indiana. The J11A25 had for power their 2005 and recently
repainted 2303 the former and correct me if I'm wrong 2376. Three images are from them leaving the Jeffersonville Indiana yard, working Speed and finally
heading back to the yard.

Nice photos.  Matching power is so great to see, and such a great paint scheme.

+1....!!

I first saw this unit on April 19 and wondered myself if it was the LIRC #2376. I looked into my photos, and found one of the #2376 taken on 9/30/15 in Jeffersonville. Could this unit have been rebuilt and repainted in that short of a time?

Noticed they've added somekind of white dot near the end of the long hood.  Looks like something with the state of Indiana on it.  The last time I saw them was less than a month ago and it wasn't there, at least not on the 2003 and 2006.  (North end of the P&L yard in Louisville.)

The dot that you are seeing is a decal that they have applied that celebrates this years bicentennial of the state of Indiana.

6 months is more than enough time to rebuild and repaint an engine, though AFAIK the #2303 was only repainted and received some minor work and upgrades such as A/C in the cab and not a full overhaul/rebuild. Work was done by Mid America Car in Kansas City,MO. #2303 is indeed the former LIRC #2376; I shot the #2303 on 4/16/16 in Jeffersonville with  green and yellow GP39-2's #2371 and 2378 on the next track over. On 4/18 all 3 remaining green and yellow GP39-2's #2371, 2375 and 2378 were photographed on a grain train.
