Thanks  :) It's hard to find a good job around these parts with only a high school diploma and 1 yr of junior college. Finally after 30 years of buying tools and working in small garages, it's going to pay off. I actually can't wait to get in there and get all greasy lol, I haven't said that in a long time.  :x

Perhaps I could send you my 6 year old for a week...  I'd bet you he could look and tell you every model of locomotive present in any rail yard.... 
It all started with Thomas and Friends 4 years ago..  And now, he wants to work on, in, around trains....  He does train sims like we do AH...  lol

We fabricate panels, tool boxes, battery boxes, spark arrestors, and more for locomotive industry. This among many other things in our shop. We also do tank car parts.

The locomotive repair shops have thinned out the last few years.

NRE has a big shop 20 miles from here.

Here is a link that has a decent number of locomotive pictures from that site plus other shots taken throughout town
