IHB RP15BDF #1508 - Indiana Harbor Belt
Title:  IHB RP15BDF #1508 - Indiana Harbor Belt
Description:  The blue stripe on the normal black and orange paint scheme denotes one of the rebuilt SW1500 dual fuel diesel and compressed natural gas units. The work done on converting ex-IHB 9208 into the dual fuel unit IHB #1508 was done by American Motive Power in 2018. This is the first time I have seen the unit and barely missed it this time!

IHB RP15BDF #1508 - Indiana Harbor Belt
Title:  IHB RP15BDF #1508 - Indiana Harbor Belt
Description:  I only got a brief moment to catch a poor quality face pic of this dual fuel loco before it scurried back into the IHB Gibson yard like a scared rabbit! Note the small blue stripe used to designate the dual fuel (diesel & compressed natural gas) models applied to the newly painted color scheme reminiscent of the older black with orange lightning stripe. Also note the multiple LED headlights on top and ditch lights on the bottom. Haven't had a chance to catch this loco again or its 3 other sister units yet but I will try!
