This GP10, with some modifications has finally made it back to an operating railroad. This motor used to sit inthemiddle of a big field, not far from Hamlet. At one time, this motor was listed on Ebay with a starting price of $85,000. It never got one bid. It does have a new owner now, but I have no idea who JLGX is. |

| Title: |
Ex A&R |
| Description: |
I spotted this ex Aberdeen and Rockfish, second back from the head. What caughtmy eye, was "The Road of Personal Service" which is the A&R logo. Looking hard, I could still make out the A&R lettering. |
