Happy New Eng!

EPT901_newyearseve

We were driving back from dinner out tonight and when we went on our usual diversion past the Eng!s we spotted this shiny new engine parked in the Portland Traction yard. Possibly it’s the ex-CR&IC engine that I spotted back in september? It’s certainly shaped the same (but with approximately 50,000 GM SW-somethingoranothers floating around, it would be hard to tell,) and this paint job looks brand sparkling new.

It was pitch black when the best and I returned with my *istDS and the flash, so it still has more of the black cow at midnight look that I’d like it to, but it’s still something new and improved that I’ll have to walk down to the yard to look at tomorrow when the local fusion reactor is shining on this side of the planet.
