Odd Coupler Knuckle on IAIS 716 |
| Description: |
In over forty years of railfanning, I've seen a few strange things ... And this is the latest. The rear coupler on Iowa Interstate GP38-2 716 (ex-LLPX 2328, ex-UP 452, ex-UP 1952, ex-EMDX 817, ex-CR 8017, nee-PC 8017) has a homemade knuckle, created from a length of rectangular tubing. I assume that it was meant for some duty other than coupling to another coupler. Photo taken on railroad property with permission and while wearing required safety gear (PPE). |

It's a nice day for outdoor work on May 14th, 2013, as Iowa Interstate GP38-2 717 has a traction motor/wheel set replaced on its rear truck at the shop in Council Bluffs, Iowa. By May 24th, 2013, this engine (and several others) had been restencilled with PRLX reporting marks. (Photo taken on railroad property with permission and while wearing required safety gear [PPE].) |
