Now we're talkin'! Excellent catch and photographs Mark

nice work! and it is a very good looking unit.
Mark, what does OPT stand for under the window? Are these the only units they have? What else do/did they have?
OPT Orange Port Terminal
Port of Orange, TX
Good shots Mark
Great shots. I don't know why, but these particular shots remind me of those old Kennecott Copper High-Cab GP39-2's from back in the 80's.
Cool!

Jess, they only have one other unit they use regulary in road service in red/white. It's the 2223. They lease out 3 other gensets to the local refineries in the Beaumont area that are in black paint:

They have an old GP9 and GP7, an ex-GN NW2 plus a couple of others that I'm unusure of.
Excellent work Mark. Not only is this a great catch, but the photos are also outstanding from a technical perspective.

Thank's Tommy!
Thank you too Jeff for the additional photos.
Nice photos! Beautiful locomotive!
