MSE 64 and TASD 772 at Sibert |
| Description: |
One of the biggest highlights of today!! Mississippi Export (MSE) 64, a shortline that is, as you would guess, Mississippi based. Pretty surprising to see it so far from home! I went around the corner and when I saw MSE 64, I was really struck with awe to encounter it here in Mobile! It seems to have been built in August of 1973, per thedieselshop.us, and used to have what appears to be duel gyralights mounted above the headlights at one period of time. At one point, however, it seems they took it off the engine, but left the mount on it. The mount still being there honestly threw me off and made it look like an ex Southern Pacific with the way the SP light package mounts looked. And the TASD 772 is a rebuilt RP14BD, and used to be an MP15DC lettered “City of Huntsville”. Honestly, I don’t really like that TASD rebuilt the MP15DCs and I ESPECIALLY don’t like that when they rebuild the MP15DCs (excluding TASD 802 “City of Florence”), that they take away the “City of” when they rebuild and repaint into TASD green. |
