Here is the MK's "little brother" to the modern 15 and 20 switchers, the MK1200G in Santa Fe warbonnet blue and BNSF markings. They are LPG fueled and usually work on the Los Angeles Junction Railway, "as" (so I was told by Bill Edwards, the Asst. Gen. Mngr. of the LAJ), "the BNSF guys don't like 'em..."

...at the risk of starting another off-topic post.....
Jack,
do you remember how long ago it was? And....do you dump your cache (Netscape) or temp Internet files (MSIE) regularly?
If not, the site is still in your history list. Lemme know what you use.

I can't seem to find that pic again.

These are actually built by Morrison-Knudsen (MPI Locomotives) using EMD parts and, in some cases, EMD locomotives (which they then customize) Some have Caterpillar built engines, some GM/EMD and some run on Liquefied Natural Gas! Anyway, here is a link to pictures of some of these locos including the GP15D and GP20D.

I forgot what forum it was on but I seen the BNSF has those I think in Washington. Hang on I will double check and get back with you.

IMHO I'd be surprised if they sold all that well to the railroads. All the data I've seen indicates switchers have not sold very well over the last decade or so, as most railroads just use older road engines in their yards et al. Here in Edmonton, for example, the CP yard is patrolled by a pair of GP9's.

New EMD switchers
Anyone spot those new EMD GP15D and GP20D switchers anywhere?
I am waiting patiently for some pics to appear, and then a company to model them.
Thanks.
