It's not everyday, that you go out for a drive and suddenly see an old yet familiar face. This is exactly what happened one Saturday afternoon, as I came across this relic and a blue GMTX unit parked in the siding at Keil Drive. Panicked, I ran home to get the camera and returned to shoot these two units, both power for the local run of 514. My thinking was that both units would be picked up by that evening's 438. Thankfully, the sun stayed out just long enough and as of today (a week later) I have been notified that it does not appear that 514 has run yet. And these two units are still parked in the same location. Nonetheless, happy to have started off my vacation this way, even if the walk in was a little thorny to say the least from all the track side overgrowth!!

    The GMTX I’d like to see on 514 would be 2695.
