GREAT CATCH! The GP9's condition would almost bring me to tears. That C-415 is very cool- all the lights are intact! Very cool!

Thanks,

While they're not in Mississippi, these were rare:



I caught these in Oakland, Ca., in storage.

 

wow!! awesome catches!:thumbs_up::thumbs_up::thumbs_up:

 

The TE70-4S "Popscicles"! Neat units...sadly, they were cut up several years ago.

 

Isn't the C-415 the loco that was on the Columbia & Cowlitz? They had a 701 (bought new) and 702 bought from SP.
Thanks for the great shots!!
