Good Day,
I wanted to see what the GE plant looked like.............so I checked Google Earth. Pictures of the GE Manufacturing Solutions (Locomotives) in Texas.

Swafford,
Thanks for that information. I used the coordinates at the bottom of your screen-captures to locate the GE facility on Google Earth. That CITI Rail ES44AC looks good. I found more on them online after seeing one on Google Street View. If MTH makes it in 2-rail in their future offerings, I will definitely buy 1. Many railroads seem to lease these as needed.
These are just my opinion,
Thanks,
Naveen Rajan
Somewhere I read that BNSF has 60 ES44AC's on lease from CITI.

This facility is due west of the Texas Motor Speedway. We always use the west entrance off of Hwy. 156 (I think) and pass this great place each time we go. Thanks for the pictures Frank, but you need to see it in person to see how large this place really is.
A friend of mine was hired to do some sub-contract work inside that plant. Security getting into, moving between departments within the plant and leaving the plant are very strict.

You want to see a big plant in Fort Worth, Texas, check out Air Force Plant #4, currently occupied by Lockheed Martin.
I worked there when it was General Dynamics making F-16s. A mile long.
What the Erie plant was known for was the test track. Is there a test track at the Fort Worth plant?
