Bit of an oddity, but i've noticed Freightliner have been using some rather odd looking loco's along the GEML recently. They look brand new, and judging by the front design, i'd say they're new too. So far i've only seen 70001, but any news on how many they're getting, where they're from etc?

I beleive they have abbout seven of the 30 on order delivered so far. |
