Another post for John

John's cooking up something good on his  New York Central Train Layout Blog !    He asked me to post a pic of this locomotive that he can use in an upcoming post!

This is Kings Port & Western SD9 #897 pulling a string of coal hoppers for KP Steel.

 

The 897 was originally a Milwaukee Road unit purchased by the KP&W to augment its Williams Yard power.  The six axle EMD hasn't been seen on the rails very often during PCCMs but may make an appearance on a KP&W symbol freight to give it a chance to blow out the cobwebs.

Keep an eye on John's blog to see what this is all about!
