Ok, I'm reaching back into my old photo albums for this one. I took the following photo back in January of 1989 when I was living in Michigan. This is a scanned version of my original colored 3.5" X 5" print, so please excuse the not-so-sharp image. "Family Lines" (SCL/LN) #3000 was switching cars around the rail yard across from Ford Motor Company's Rouge Assembly Plant.

Unique-looking diesel to say the least! The end of the long hood looks "GE", the trucks look "Blomberg" (which, correct me if I'm wrong, are typically associated with EMD products), and the front end/cab...I don't even know what to say about that!!

Can anyone here tell me what the heck I captured on film that day over 27 years ago?
