Former GG20B BNSF 1211 had a cab added to it at MEI in East St. Louis, IL on its way to becoming Railpower RP14BD leaser RPRX 1411. This unit had previously been cabless, and was converted to an RP14BD genset by Railpower following the sidelining of the GG20B fleet. BNSF 1211 suffered a fire in early 2007 that helped herald the end of the hybrid era. (Jody Moore CRO GREEN NEWS)

Post conversion, with a coat of paint added, RPRX 1411 is now the contract switcher for RJ Corman's Toyota plant contract in Mississippi

Another Lean and Green from Ohio Locomotive Works, this one for Nortstra Energy, a repower of their MF-13. Turned out great. For more info on the Lean and Green, check out OLW's Facebook page, or go to the website, http://leanandgreenlocomotive.com/

In August, RPOX 1320 was leased to Richardson Seeds Canada, located in Yorkton, SK.  This genset started life as an NW2 in 1949 at EMD La Grange, IL, and has worn many identities including Southern Pacific NW2 3210. Only only recently converted into a genset,in mid-August CRO’s Jody Moore shot her in transit to Canada on CP in Minneapolis, MN.
