The cab and control stand is in fantastic condition, clean as a whistle inside and out. After the unit did so poorly in 2005 it got a cleaning and rebuild, it hasn't given the W&I any major trouble. As a matter of fact, that little indent is part of the reason it is on the W&I. The owner of the unit wanted to "store" it somewhere where it would get used, that way any problems that showed up could get corrected before it was put on the head end of a passenger train. The W&I was looking for a third unit, so it works out good for everybody.

P.S. No E units down here, just the 6304, a GP30(M) and a GP16.
