Description: Her days of acting (UNDER SEIGE
2) are all but a thing of the past. Fresh from the paint shop, old
GP7u #1810 is ready for service. She looks great in her new, bright
colors. She goes by the name, Eileen Samuels, and does her cousins
proud. A picture of one of her cousins, Myron, will be added shortly.
Number 1810 was used by Nevada Industrial Switching after making its appearance
in Under Siege II. It was then purchased by the Moalla Western just
south of Portland, Oregon. Allen Hurst says, "Molalla Western
has been running cows with heavy consists of lumber and grain, all on a
good incline. It has been a little too much for the cows. They
informed me that they were planning on running 1810 with a slug in the
future. The UP leaves filled grain cars and empty lumber cars at
its siding in Canby. These are taken by Molalla Western to Molalla
and exchanged for full lumber cars and empty grain cars."
