Bound for a warmer climate. Here we find EMD export GPL15T Just one of eight Standard Gauge units that are being built by Super Steel in Glenville, NY. Under contract by EMD for SNIM (Societe Nationale Industrielle et Miniere) a Iron Ore Mining Company based in the Sarhara Desert in Mauritania Africa. SNIM was known at one time for running one of the worlds longest and heaviest constantly running trains (1.8 Miles Long). SNIM single track 434 mile rail line links four Mines in the province of Tiris a desert area of Northern Mauritania to a harbor at Nouadhibou were the ore is shipped by ship. These units are going to be shipped out of the Port of Albany on completion of order. Look forward to seeing these hiding down by the dock. Enjoy......Taken 2/14/08 by Deano2/20/2008
