Today as I was coming back from lunch I drove by Norfolk Southern's Abrams Yard in King of Prussia, PA. Sitting at the fueling rack was a locomotive I could identify. It looked like a low hood Geep. The paint scheme was a dark blue with a wide gold stripe along the side that came to a "V" on the front of locomotive.
Anyone have any idea what railroad it could be?
Unfortunately I did not have a camera with me of course.
That is a former Southern Pacific SD45, that was sold to MPI. They rebuilt it to SD40-2 standards. Now they are owned by Helm. We have several of them on lease right now. Bob

Thanks Bob for the information. I really wish I could have caught a photo of it. Something different than the black and white NS units or the rare Conrail blue. I drive by Abrams Yard going to and coming from work and sometimes lunch. My luck is that I only see something interesting when I don't have a camera or I can't pull over.
