Get'em while they're clean
Author: srman

Late yesterday afternoon I was in Danville Ky. when NS 172 showed up. Up front were three new (rebuilt from Dash 9's) AC44C6M's along with two EMD product's all running elephant style. Well since it was going in the same direction as home I figured I might as well tag along. Attached are three images. First he's just left Danville now on the Louisville division as he rounds the curve crossing Faulkner Rd.  Second about to dip under the U.S. 127 overpass just west of Lawrenceburg Ky. Lastly he's at Waddy Ky. and I probably have no more than three minutes to spare before the sun dips behind the hill. Whew! Thanks for looking.

Nice shots.

Basically, what is involved in a rebuild from Dash 9 to Ac44?

They take an old worn out Dash 9 that squeaks a lot & replace the old cab on it with a new cab such that EVERYTHING in the cab & entire engine vibrates & rattles.

You're in my old stomping grounds! I grew up in Danville! I was living there when they put in the wye to the Louisville line (just south of the Buster Pike bridge).
