Two former Soo geeps bring the Nitron Job back towards Nahant Yard as it slowly rolls through the town of Port Bryon. The 56 year old GP9 has very little time left on the CP, and it will soon be either scrapped or sold to a new owner. Its pretty impressive that these units are pushing 60 years of age, and probably have millions of miles on them as well. What other class one still has GP9s running around like this!? |
