10:42am.
An Eastbound UP Manifest heading for the Chicago area has a Grey&Blue GE U18B on the rear of the Train.
Oh, goody! I may get to see it in about ten days or so…[}:)]
How old is a U18B?
How cool! I was always a fan of GE’s Baby boats.
The U18B was built from March 1973 until October 1976. A total of 163 were produced for the US (118) and Mexico (45).

I could have checked on it had I known reporting mark and number. Despite what I said before, I fear that tomorrow evening might be too late.
I wonder if it is an ex-CSXT locomotive with a shortline. Did the paint scheme look like this?
Yes. But it did not have the CSXT on the side.
They could have painted the CSX lterring out.
Maybe it was givin a little push…
