Another opportunity with the LIRC in the snow
Author: srman

The Louisville & Indiana's Jeffersonville Indiana yard is practically in my backyard. If I hear something on the radio I can pretty much be there in a couple of minutes to intercept. Now in recent years snow has pretty much eluded the area where I live. So when I heard one of their locals today leaving the yard I headed out to catch with a little snow flying around. All images are around Jeffersonville Inidana.

Nice shots.  What can you tell us about the interesting "scale" in photo 3?  I see lots of wooden pallets but the weight/counterweight object makes me curious.

Their units look great in the snow. Isn't that the scales of justice back there?

Honestly I can’t totally explain those scales. I’ve never asked anyone about them. I know they have been there for years. I do know one of them has the word LOVE on it. I’m sure it has something to do about balancing life’s issues.

Those are some sharp looking geeps!  I don't think I've seen this line before.

Excellent trio. Typical shortline using more power than cars.

A bit of research turned up a page featuring the scales and The Lady.

Below the buckets of the scales are two pyramids.  One is labeled "Always Too Much" the other is "Never Enough".

There is a large metal sculpture of a woman a short distance from the scales.

For those who would like to see photos of the woman and the scales the link is below.

Hope this helps.

Great looking units here!

Lead unit looks like a GP-39, or GP-40---need to see the radiator fan area better...

The 2304 is a GP39-2 and was built as MKT 379.
