Details on the front of an SD40-2

Railpictures.net is a goldmine for modellers. I found this picture of the front of an S40-2. Notice the white hand painted outline on the plow.

Just curious, but why the recommendation? I tend to post photos instead of links, but mostly cause I don't know how to leave a link!

The photos on RP are copyrighted so you need permission from the photographer to post them. However just posting a link isn't a copyright violation.

to post a link to something you just have to copy whats in your address box when viewing the page you want to link to. RP has the link above the photo, just copy that and then paste it in your post.

That's called "hot linking", and is generally shunned against on the internet. It steals bandwidth from the site owner w/o the proper recognition.

Copy & paste the URL in your browser's URL bar, which will give us a link to the image you want us to see, on the page it originates from.

What kind of GE is it and I'll try to find it again.

Ok, thanks for the info, never really thought of this before. Leaving a link sounds like the way to go!
Thanks.
