Good looking paint on this former DTI unit. It carried several banners - DTI, GTW, PLE, LLPX and finally the GMTX lable. |

Description: |
We were told by a waiting Amtrak passenger that there is a cold storage facility just up the spur that UP runs frequent locals to on a nearly daily basis. Not sure how accurate that is but explains this local. |
