ALE GP38-2s 3859 and 3863
Title:  ALE GP38-2s 3859 and 3863
Description:  Alabama Export Railroad (ALE) is a subsidiary of Mississippi Export Railroad (MSE). The ALE owns only two locomotives, EMD GP38-2 #3863 and EMD GP38-2 #3859. Both of these locomotives are ex HLCX leasers and both have a colorful history. It is not the best image of the duo, but it was hard to get a good shot because we were on the interstate on the opposite side from the yard they were in. My goal is to someday soon get a better shot of them both!

Both of these locomotives are ex HLCX leasers and both have a colorful history. This is the first picture on this site and maybe even on the internet of ALE 3863 and ALE 3859 (I have made many google searches, with no success, the only pic I have seen is of one of the two geeps on thedieselshop.net). It is not the best image of the duo, but sadly, the yard it was in, that I think is owned by ALE, is off limits to the public, and all the railcars from the NS yard made it harder to get a good shot of them. My goal is to someday soon get a better shot of them both!

ALE locos and an NS consist at Sibert
Title:  ALE locos and an NS consist at Sibert
Description:  Saw these when I was flying over CSX’s Sibert Yard. ALE 3859 and ALE 3863 were sitting in the ALE yard office/car shops, and there was an NS consist sitting in Sibert. I sadly couldn’t get any numbers of the NS units, but the lead unit appears to be an SD70ACC, the middle unit appears to be a Dash 9, and the rear unit appears to be either an SD70ACe, SD70ACU, or an SD70M-2. These locomotives were really strange/rare to see in Sibert, and it was cool to see all of the locos present.
