Re: (erielack) What SP units are EL

[Hhaines_@_aol.com]

The trick is, where will these locomotives go?  

MRL has been buying a number of secondhand units from UP.  There were 26 at 
Garrison, Montana last September--mostly older SD 45s and SD40 variants, but 
a few GP 50s. Montana Rebuild Center (the former NP/BN shops in Livingston, 
Montana, and a sister Washington company to Montana (and I&M) Rail Link) 
acquires a number of older locomotives, rebuilds them, and then lease 
locomotives to other roads.  They use a paint scheme based on the last 
Northern Pacific, and a bucking bronco similar to the State of Wyoming's 
"Cowboy State" logo.   

I have photos of these LRC units running with former EL unit #3657 (now MRL 
#332, there's your EL content).

So my interest is if these units show up in Montana, I want to get photos.
