MKT 101
Title:  MKT 101
Description:  Now here is something you don't see very often, real Katy power! GP7 101 and a second GP7 sit at Dixmoor. I don't know how many of these are left, but there are at least three of them at Dixmoor. These engines, which should be in museums in my opinion, now have their days numbered as 104 was already scrapped.
