SCXY 1363 |
Description: |
It's nice to see older generation Geeps still in active service even if they aren't on Class One RRs. GP9 #1363 is a former GN Geep, it went into BN in the 1970 merger, but retired by BN, ILSX picked it up and leased it to the SCXY, when it first came to the SCXY, it's classifcation lights weren't capped and it was in a ugly green and yellow scheme. In 2009, when the Snake River Bridge was closed due to slight rebuild, the GP9 went for a nice repaint. GP8 #1352 started out as a IC GP7 and was rebuilt to it's current look by the IC. After it was retired, ILSX picked it up and became the new lease unit for the SCXY. It too got the NP Tribute Scheme. Both units look very sharp and amazing in this scheme |

One of the best looking GP9s around, if you want to see SCXY's GP9 and GP8, make a trip up to Rush City and Hinckley. The SCXY runs from Mon. to Fri. and interchanges with BNSF's Hinckley Local which runs on the same days, you can find these units at Rush City on the weekends sitting sliently |

Finally after a long while the SCXY decided to bring #1352 back to Hinckley with #1363 and a interchange. Also nice to hear #1352's horn |

The GP8 makes a welcome back return after not being used for awhile. But here she is leading a 3 car interchange with #1363 on a cloudy start to the day which would clear out |
