FARMRAIL EMD GP-9 DIESEL #280 - CLINTON, OKLAHOMA - APRIL 22, 1989
Kind of a different name, but it works for a granger type of railroad running some one time Santa Fe, Frisco, and Rock Island branches. For initial operations, Farmrail picked up a fleet of old GP-9's from various roads, and painted them into this very different looking scheme. All of them received Indian origin type names, which was a nice touch of something different and classy. For any Milwaukee Road fans, you will instantly know the heritage of the diesel because of that metal plate used for the road number. Why the Milwaukee did that, who knows, but it was cool that Farmrail used the metal plate as it was intended to be used.
