The standard cab GE leading is a nice catch too.

On the note of the standard cab, I was just thinking, it would be a lot more fun if it was ex-NS instead of ex-UP. I believe NS C40-8s would have graced these rails in the past. Perhaps Arnold or others could confirm.

As a steam fan from the ‘50’s, I never thought I would say the words, “Yeah, nice to see a standard cab” , let alone look at a colourful diesel ! James, how the decades have changed my thinking. Alway so interesting to see what goes on at Feeder and all the changes in the area . In my early rail photographing days, Feeder was simply an approach to the Welland Canal bridge for west bound Wabash F’s. Many thanks for getting out, and for sharing.

Very nice James! I still have yet to bag one of these in good light. I got too many wide-cab ones!

Thanks railwayguy. I agree, Feeder is an interesting spot. Not a lot of action, but what does go on there is cool and I enjoy the stakeout aspect of the railfanning experience in these parts. My pleasure to get out and share.

Kevin, you might want to act quick on that one. I believe these are going into storage too along with the C40-8M’s.

Standard GE cabs..maybe nice to photograph in these days of wide cabs, but they are absolutely awful to operate! BTW nice shot

Thanks Phil. Yeah, I was told 2101 was “truck hunting” pretty badly yesterday. That was a new term for me.

Truck “hunting” is normally when a locomotive trucks move laterally and bang on both sides of the rail. It can get pretty loud and bumpy for sure. It only tends to happy when a locomotive is moving at speed. It is not just a GE thing, although I have had more GE’s do it than GM’s and 6 axle units tend to “hunt” more.
