Now a rarity |
| Description: |
I remember the first day I got my new digital camera in the summer of 2005. Went up to New Brighton to test it out, and how bummed I was to find no WC power on the transfer. Only a worn SD40-2W and two IC 61XX's. And now look at me, happy to see one of these every chance I can get, which soon wont be at all. |

Still polishing the rails, but for how much longer? This unit may stand a better chance than most of its siblings, it was just shopped at NRE on the 28th of Feb. But with CN, its hard to say if its going to be around. |
