SCXY 1363 |
Description: |
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 |

Description: |
It feels like the 1960s and early 1970s with a former NP GP9, but in reality this is a former GN Geep, this unit has a sister unit, a former IC GP8, both looking stunning in their NP Tribute Scheme, but today, #1363 was alone |
