Well,
I havent seen it,but if they run it like they’re running the other three you want get to see them in the day light …The 4141,1982,1988 units are only run under cover of darkness,in most cases…I have attempted 3 times to catch them from Houston to Ft Worh w/out success…If They lv. a yard before dark they will hold them in a siding until dark to move them…I think they are doing this purposely to keep us from seeing them or taking pics…They also bury them in the yard once they get to their destination…Good Luck !
I saw it headed east about a week before she was tied up in Morril, Traveling in the dark. [:P]
These three, along with another loco in UP paint (I didn’t note the number), were sitting right alongside I-30 where it goes by downtown Fort Worth on Sunday evening (1/8), at the head of a trainload of pipe. It was the first time I’d seen any of them, let alone all three together, so was quite surprised. I’ve got to start keeping a camera at all times!
Well, it’s kind of funny, everyone else in the post names all the special locos, except the 1983, what they can’t READ!
Another view of the 1983:
Then there was this view:
Than after that photo was this photo:
