New power in Bogalusa
Title:  New power in Bogalusa
Description:  It is rumored this unit will be set up for remote operation to replace GP38-2 CN 5820. First time this unit has been in Bogalusa and it came in with two GP38-2 road units on Wanilla turn. This nakes four units in Bogalusa, which is extremely rare.

Extra power in Bogalusa
Title:  Extra power in Bogalusa
Description:  While the pair of Geep 38-2's are common at the end of the former GM&O line, WC 1568 is new, and the word was that it would be converted to remote control. Mechanical problems kept that from happening and it made a relatively quick exit.
