Rick:
“Yes, the railroad has picked up some orphans from
other railroads – that’s basically what the concept is. We do
have some current power from that time, which is running our
hotshot trains. The current power has a little different paint
scheme – it’s red, black, and white. Whereas the older units
have the blue, gray, and white scheme on them.”
MRH:
“So you’ve got your own transition going on?”
Rick:
“Yes, we are kind of sort of like the SP&S … you never
know what color is what.”
MRH:
“Okay, David, construction? You’re kind of doing it in
multiple phases here?”
