Could someone please tell me what kind of engine this is?

I believe that's a Mountain, albeit it's not designed for heavy grades due to driver size - used primarily on flat terrain.

Yep just found this. It was saved from scrap, i knew that but always wondered what it was. I need this built so i can finish my route.

Isn't that the GN P-2 Mountain that's not far from where Woody (BNSFdude) lives? The one I'm going to do after the UP FEF-3

Yeah, like 10 blocks from me.

Not GN guys, it's Illinois Central 2500. She's quite a beauty!

This is the GN engine, not even close.

What is the location on that photo? Doesn't look any thing like 2523's current home..?

Right right, but the above picture looks nothing like where it resides.
