April 23, 2010 saw P&L GP40 2119 and slug 2112

April 23, 2010 saw P&L GP40 2119 and slug 2112 leading freshly rebuilt Metra FP40 “Village of Orland Park” #116 and Indiana Railroad’s SD90 #9009 out of Progress Rail and toward Paducah where they would spend the weekend.  Monday afternoon both units made their way to Fulton where they departed Tuesday headed north.  Progress has stayed busy with the FP40s as many units have made their way in and out of Mayfield.  The SD90s are being re-engined with V-12 replacing the ill fated V-16s of the original units.  They will be used almost exclusively in coal service. – submitted by James Futrell
