FERROMEX 4045, 10-28-2011
Title:  FERROMEX 4045, 10-28-2011
Description:  This looks like a brand-new EMD unit. I don't know which model (SD-70 series, perhaps?) this one is. It's coupled to sister FerroMex 4636 at Altona, IL. The train is stopped, waiting for clearance to head south. ADDITIONAL NOTE: Thanks to the two contributors who ID'd this engine as an EMD SD-70ACe.
