>I used to work out at EMD and a few friends still do. I was amazed at the
number of "rail fans" (fanatics) around. I still stop and wonder at the
brute size and strength of those locomotives and often still try and
identify the different offerings from the 2 main competing diesel-electric
manufacturers.
As a railfan (and modeler) myself- Milwaukee Road electrified Cascade
division my specialty- I've been seeing an interesting "relic" in the BNSF
yard in Bellingham these past few months that might bring back some
more memories for you. It's a GP-30, probably one of the very few GP-30s still
in major railroad service. If you used to work at EMD, you may remember
the GP-30, as it has a very distinctive body and cab, particularly the dynamic
brake grids on top of the long hood.
