OTVR GP18 #181 - Otter Tail Valley RR
Title:  OTVR GP18 #181 - Otter Tail Valley RR
Description:  Wearing a very patriot color scheme is Otter Tail Valley RR GP18 #181 sitting next to the former BN depot. Built by EMD in September of 1963 as NS GP18 #2, this loco has landed on seveeral rosters before and since being on the OTVR one. Currently it appears to be on the Burlington Junction Rwy roster. Can anyone confirm this? Eric Berg took the photo.

OTVR GP18 #194 - Otter Tail Valley RR
Title:  OTVR GP18 #194 - Otter Tail Valley RR
Description:  Eric Berg found the cannibalized Otter Tail Valley GP18 #194 sitting half gutted in the Fergus Falls, MN yard. Originally built by EMD in October of 1963 for the shortline Norfolk Southern Railroad (not to be confused with the present NS congolmerate) as their #15, it was merged into the Southern Rwy roster in 1974. The loco was renamed SOU #194 and later sold to the Otter Tail Valley RR. To maintain its other GP18's on the OTVR roster, this loco was sacrificed.
