Description: |
After leaving home at 6:40 AM to head up to Duluth, I decided to make a stop in Rush City to shoot the recently repainted units that the St. Croix Valley has. I got there just as the sun was coming up, and at the same time a crew member did. He started up the unit just as I gov this shot this. Those old geeps sound really nice. |

Here's a nice close up shot of SCXY GP9 #1363 sitting silently in Rush City with GP8 #1352. What I wouldn't give to see the SCXY getting a GP30 and painting it up in this scheme, oh well, gotta love the old first generation diesels while you can |

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 |

About to board |
Description: |
While video taping them, a crew member came to me and asked if I wanted to go in the cab and take a ride. Now how can I turn that down? Guess what, I won;t it, I accepted it and climbed abord #1352, the crew was so nice and they gave me some good laughs on the way to Rush City |
