Passing the torch
Once again 520 is short on power, hence the tramp power leading. Still no ditchlights, three zebras look right though. The GP38-2s trailing have the dubious distinction of wiping the GMD1 herd off the roster, as the preferred power of choice on the branchline. Nearly every Prairie branchline is now serviced by a GP38-2 or a GP9/M420W derivative on shortlines. Just eight years ago A-1-A GMD1 trios still ran on the Lewvan sub The GP38-2s have pushed them off 60lb rail as well, not an issue since the line isnt operational.
I had just gotten to the park for this one...it was quite a sight. I don't think the 520 is free of GMD-1s yet, Roman.

You're right Elijah! Today's version had 1441 leading. Photos are good, but don't think I should bother posting now that it's common.
