    I ran into this locomotive somewhere around Deming NM; but I could not identify what RR it was. Sorry for the lack of clarity -3.jpg

    I believe it is the Southwestern Railroad.

    Man, you guys are GOOD! All I saw was a very dark blob with a little light in the middle of the body...I'm impressed. :startled:

    Maybe. It looks like one of those new emissions units. I'm not sure what it is.

    I went back to look at that picture, and by counting the little black dots below the carbody, it almost looks like an SD40 or SD40-2.

    I too believe that is a Southwestern railroad unit. You stated the picture was at Deming. The SW railroad operates the old ATSF line from Santa Rita mines through Deming on to Rincon, N.M. where it interchanges with the BNSF. I used to route Albuq bound asphalt cars from the SP to intechange to ATSF at Deming.

    I remembered a topic where Mike Fifer had posted a SWRR photo or two, so that's how I recognized it.
