DEGX Coal Train         
The coal train from Colorado to Mississippi Power Company's Daniel Electric Generating Plant at Escatawpa, Mississippi usually operated over the Illinois Central Gulf from the MP connection at Memphis to the Mississippi Export connection at Evanston via Hattiesburg; but because of a problem on the train's usual route, here it is on the ICG passing the yard office at Mays Yard en route to the Seaboard System for delivery to the MSE at Pascagoula. The train has yellow MP SD50's 5028, 5007 and 5006; all were built in November and December 1984.

Michael Palmieri General When the UP decided it wasn't going to use class lights any more, it deliberately painted over them so the FRA wouldn't fine them if a class light bulb was burned out. 1/18/2010 2:59:51 PM
