Any idea what that second unit is? Has an EMD look to it but the trucks look Alco or GE?

@John Gleason: The 2nd unit is a GP35 of Ann Arbor lineage, the Alco trucks were part of a deal that EMD had at the time, they would offer a discounted price if the buyer would trade in another diesel and they would utilize the trucks and traction motors of those trade-ins. Ann Arbor traded in FA-1's and FB-1's, which is the reason for the Alco trucks. Southern Railway and Gulf, Mobile, & Ohio were others that did this with GP35's.

Kyle, thank you for the explanation. That makes sense now. Nice shot as well!
