This "Locomotive" was pulling a seven-car train unloading ties for Hurricane Katrina damage repair on the CSX NO&M sub. I can't find it listed in either of the EMD or GE catalogs...
Awwwwww............how cute- a baby locomotive out of its nest! Wonder if it'll grow up to be a great big AC4400 like its daddy? Planters Peanuts in Ft. Smith, AR has a green 25-tonner similar to this little guy. IIRC, didn't the L&S have some GE 70-tonners at one time?

Not all that odd, but a geographic refugee of sorts: and This was a southbound coal drag in Fountain, CO, this afternoon.
