2104's RS3L froze and broke one winter IIRC, they replaced it with a monstrosity of a K3LA
Oh no... :(
I'm wondering if that's the same thing that happened to MMRR 2057's old K5LA horn before it was replaced with MMRR #2019's :?:

Yes, it was, and the crews hated it. 2104 is a much better unit, I’m told.
Yes, I see :lol:
GR 2104 (formely CF&E #3885) is a GP38-2 which is better and MMRR #2057 (was GR #3839) is only a GP38.

Re: Throwback Thursday: Michigan Shore Railroad

At the time, MS only needed one unit, while MQT needed extra power. 2057 just happened to be the one sent over there. MMRR #2057 was in Grand Rapids last year in March to help out while GRE #2104 was getting repaired before it was sent back to Manistee, I was pleased by the videos of it in Grand Ra...

Re: Throwback Thursday: Michigan Shore Railroad

I miss hearing the horn on 2057. Many nights I would lay in bed and hear it echo up Spring Lake. There is something unique about that horn, or valve or maybe just the way it is plumbed to the tank. I couldn't agree more! I always love the horn on the 2057! It's definitely one of the reasons why I m...

I wonder how MMRR #2057 is currently doing after 4 years out of town...(20:57 PM)
Still running up North. Go see it kicking around Manistee.
Thanks, but unfortunately I have no way to Manistee, I usually check for new videos of MMRR #2057 running in Manistee or Baldwin.

Throwback Thursday: Michigan Shore Railroad

It's been 4 years since the former Michigan Shore Railroad GP38 locomotive MMRR #2057 (formerly Grand Rapids Eastern (GP38) #3839) left the Michigan Shore to be sent to the MQT (Marquette Rail) in October 2017, leaving MMRR #2019 the only locomotive on the Michigan Shore ... After that, a Huron & Ea...
