One thought on “The Genesee & Wyoming Today

  1. It was a bit disappointing that the pop up add for this special had a picture of one of Genesse & Wyoming’s Australian trains on it like the ones which run on my network, led by a CLP class loco (a hybrid design for Australia which put EMD SD40 equipment into a F7 carbody). But the specail doesn’t contain any reference to Genesee 7 Wyoming’s Australian operations, nor did I see anything on its other international operations.
