Great vid and thanks for the share.
Truth be told I'm going to miss the RS hybrids. They've ALL given their last and best effort for the MDDE and DelMarVa.
Won't be long before the Carload Express MP15ACs in Carload deep red/yellow (but with w/MDDE lettering) arrive (word is they are on the way) becomes the default Delmarva Peninsula color.
Suck up these final days.

While it may not be the best thing for motive power variety I believe Carload Express taking over MDDE's operations is ultimately a good thing for Delmarva shippers.

Absolutely...Carload is the salvation for the rail industry as well as existing and future commerce and shippers here on DelMarVa. MDDE's old yet quaint operation on the State-owned and quickly deteriorating lines was self destructing and shedding existing customers at an alarming rate. Carload has a proven Progressive track record and attitude to leverage resources maintaining existing service, rebuild infrastructure and business relationships throughout the region. I've been waiting for this takeover for many years...it's a GOOD thing.
