I saw this unit sitting on a siding next to the freeway in Thousand Palms. I got off at the next exit, grabbed my camera, and had my wife drive back the other way. These are not great shots, but are good enough under the circumstances.
I'm not short. I'm concentrated awesome!

I occasionally see components of locomotives on EB I-94 is SW Michigan, which is about as close as I can get as I haven't seen much in new power around here. Cool to see one assembled. It wouldn't have come from Ontario, would it? 7D, 85mm 1.8, 70-200mm 4.0 (non-IS), 24- 105mm 4.0, 430 EX (2X), and assorted useful accessories. (Some not so useful too!)

Kevin It was heading towards Ontario, California (west). I've never seen one of these before, and apparently, this is the only one with this paint scheme. I'm not short. I'm concentrated awesome!

Interesting link. A lot of those 'photos' appar to be artist's renderings. That's interesting that they can increase the starting power by 2,000 HP by adding the batteries. I'm not short. I'm concentrated awesome!

Kevin All GE locomotives are built in Erie PA while the parts that take I-94 are EMD and go between the La Grange IL plant and the one in London Ontario for final assembly. 7d

The large radiators all look alike to me. 7D, 85mm 1.8, 70-200mm 4.0 (non-IS), 24- 105mm 4.0, 430 EX (2X), and assorted useful accessories. (Some not so useful too!)
