5000th GE in Kentucky

[Gage O'Dell]

Today (6/27/13), Union Pacific 7964, the 5000th GEVO was leading NS 285 through the Louisville District. Thanks to the usual slow day, it allowed me to run over to Vanarsdale to set up for the chase. Thanks to a nice summer thunderstorm.. or 2.. The chase was a slow and short one.

Thanks for sharing pictures. I don't know how this unit got by me and I am still sort of mad I missed it. Glad a few people got out in time to see it though.
