SD9s
Title:  SD9s
Description:  Two SD9s and a GP28M make up a very nice lashup for 2006. The 6120 is set up to run long hood forward, and that makes sense since it is former GN. The two SD9s were 48 years old, and the GP28Ms frame was 50 years old when I took this shot. A true tribute to the quality of EMDs locomotives.
