Wow! The folks at the OERM really did an outstanding job on bringing this old girl back to her former glory! I still preferred the freight-style red lettering though. Can't wait to see it pulling trains again!

This restoration has actually taken 6 years, but nonetheless worth the wait for such beauty. A member at the museum told me months ago as the 108 was nearing completion that the Museum has actually done a better paint job than the Santa Fe did back when they 1st had her.

Forgive my ignorance, but why do the light shields on the two center cab lights (Between the number boards) appear to be mounted upside down?
|
I believe that the light shields are to prevent the headlight glare on the windshield.

Light shields are mounted correctly, as can be seen in the linked photo from when these babies were new.

This unit must surely be one of the best-restored second-gen diesels in the U.S.
