Comments on: Last catch on our way back to Alberta after a week of rail photography in Saskatchewan. Great Sand Hills Railway leased NREX engine 4253 leads this short 9 car train past some prairie relics. Headed towards Burstall.

Check out that funky windmill. Looks more like a modern hd television antenna.

Nice! These were some of my favorite leased units of the Great Sandhills railway, too bad they’re gone. That second unit looks like 4221, which by April 2010 had a blown turbocharger. Last time I checked they had two GMTX GP38M-2s and a LLPX 38-2, two DLCX SD40-3s, and a DMVW GP35R. Just one note though, this would be still in Saskatchewan, rather than Alberta. Again, great catch!
