OTVR GP18 #194 - Otter Tail Valley RR |
| Description: |
Eric Berg found the cannibalized Otter Tail Valley GP18 #194 sitting half gutted in the Fergus Falls, MN yard. Originally built by EMD in October of 1963 for the shortline Norfolk Southern Railroad (not to be confused with the present NS congolmerate) as their #15, it was merged into the Southern Rwy roster in 1974. The loco was renamed SOU #194 and later sold to the Otter Tail Valley RR. To maintain its other GP18's on the OTVR roster, this loco was sacrificed. |

| Description: |
From the long nose end, the loco appears just to be sitting on a siding, possibly waiting for its next assignment. One that will never be given as the loco was cannibalized by the OTVR for parts to keep its other GP18's running. Eric Berg photo |
