Here's NS 600 again. |
 |
An Admiral SD40-2 and an RP20BD genset. |
 |
NS 6534 is one of the ex-UP/CNW SD60s purchased this year. They'll all end up in the SD60E program eventually. Looks like 6534 doesn't have much time left. |
 |
At the west end of the shop they have a lot of new Admiral cabs, SD60E cabs, and spare long hoods for various projects. |
 |
|
 |
Part of the deadline. |

 |
Here's an unfinished RP20BD genset, probably for Modesto & Empire Traction. |
