I can't wait to see these units painted. I posted a link the other day of a mock up CGI photo of what these motors will look like but it wasn't approved. So email me if you want the link.

Hopefully this doesn't mean the end of the line for IAIS' roster of extremely cool engines.

These engines are going to be cool, but I am afraid that they might end up scrapping a lot of the older models, meaning getting rid of the GP11 they still have, or there entire fleet of GP38-2's.

Interesting that a railroad with an all EMD roster has chosen to buy new GE's. I wonder what deal GE cut for IAIS. Are they an "add-on" to the back of someone elses order perhaps? Either way it certainly means the end of their classic EMD roster.

Nice shot. They sure stand out in primer, eh?
I like that railroads are trying to modernize. Not to mention that the crews will probably love these things. Air conditioning, comfy seats, the whole works.

Looks like something find on a model railroad. I like how the water tower is is still there and how NS puts the logo on the shop. Lots to see here.
