    That unit is a good eye catcher!

    One thing I notice is that a fair number of Rock Island depots seem to have survived, so far. Many seem to be preserved and cared for rather nicely.

    It is an eye-catcher. Too bad I had to go almost out of my way to get it. ;)

    At least you got to see it. My chances of it ever wandering through here are pretty slim. :(

    Could someone remind us the history of that SD60E unit? The cab looks like rather different of what these locomotives are equipped with...
