The ILS fleet -
Bethel Shops
This is one of their two home shops where heavy work
takes place. Their yard also has an interesting collection of locomotives
awaiting work. Many units seen here are still in their former road colors and
lettering awaiting time in the shop and paint booth before getting new
assignments... Some of the units are for DLSX - they were seen at the shops for
repairs for this lease company.

DLSX GP7 4551 was reportedly built from a Rock Island F2
