GAXX 2287 |
| Description: |
The newest arrival to the Gerdau (former Chaparral) Steel plant in Midlothian is this NRE Genset working with an older SW1200. God was on my side today as both units were parked next to the highway and a stopped freight moved out of the yard giving me a clear shot of these two. Thank you! |

Christmas 2012 will always be memorable for me because snow fell in Dallas/Fort Worth on December 25 and I finally experienced a white Christmas. Another rare event was capturing three former SP AC4400s running elephant style on a UP freight chugging north through snow covered fields. Merry Christmas! |
