Just a quick note...

Yesterday, running a freight drag up the Q from KC to Lincoln, good old 6189 (SD-9 or 24 high hood) made an appearance.

Haven't seen one of her class in a while.

John,

From the sources I scoped out, they say ol' 6189 is an SD-9. Yes, it's good to see that the "Cadillacs" are still earning their keep on a Class 1. Kinda makes me nostalgic for the Chicago & Northwestern...

Thanks for that report, John. Much appreciated.

Nice catch, John. Those SD9's are awesome engines.
