Luminant Energy SD50 number 53002, Kosse Mine, Texas_

Luminant Energy uses an 11-mile railroad to shuttle locally mined lignite to their Oak Grove Power Plant. I spotted three of these SD50s painted for Luminant, plus a GATX leasing SD40-2. Here a 40-car train is backing into the coal loading/shop area near Kosse, TX.

 

More recent pictures I have seen has them currently running trains with 2 ex EMD SD70ACe's demos still in their demonstrator paint scheme. I'm not sure of the demise of these SD50s.
