Neat, is this served by Pickens or NS? Is that critter just a blue-painted trackmobile, or something with more gusto (rebuilt locomotive)?

Eric, it's appears to be entirely new, similar to some of the locos built by Republic Locomotive in Greenville, SC. It's 500hp and joystick controlled. This plant is served by Pickens.
