You're right Bernie, but not this particular one. The train consist showed it as going to New Orleans, La. dumping between Mobile, Al. & New Orleans, La.

That was nice Alex. Ironically this train I got called on had engine problems & they had to add the 8592 to the consist & luckily it was on the point instead of trailing. The trailing SD50 8567 had a mechanical failure. The 123 had been leading the K989. Had the 123 still been leading I never would've bothered getting my camera out. It took 3 crews to get K989 from Calera to Montgomery. 2 of the cars in the train spilled rock under the train causing more delay. I had to set those 2 cars out, then go to Montgomery with it. The 3rd crew being me was the charm to get the K989 over the road

The stenciling on the cab was SD50, so I classified it as an SD50 & not an SD50-2. I thought that all of the SD50'S were rebuilt to -2 specifications myself. Anyway everyone on here knows what it is. SD50, SD50-2, there are no differences on appearance. Thanks
