Metro Transit has released the design of the locomotives for the new Nortstar Commuter Rail. You can view the press release here, which includes graphics showing the design.
According to the press release, the locomotives will be remanufactured MP-36 locomotives from Motive Power.
A good modeler (which would not be me) could probably make a model based off the graphics included with the press release. If anyone makes one, I'd like to see a photo!
Some more pictures from Wayzata, September 9, 2006.
These first pictures are taken from the train. This was on the way back from Howard Lake, so the train was being pulled by the diesel. It didn't occur to me to take pictures toward the other end of the train to get the 261 steam locomotive.
Next are some shots from when we were back in Wayzata.
You can see the locomotives (steam and diesel) in the previous post, "Locomotives."
If you'd like to see more pictures of this train or of the freight train in the previous post, let me know. I have some more I can post!
