This GE center-cab switcher can frequently be found on the north side of Interstate 30 at
Gifford Hill's large pipe manufacturing facility in Grand Prairie. The most convenient way
to access this locomotive is to park on the shoulder of the westbound lanes of I-30 and walk
down the highway embankment. A telephoto lens is recommended; the locomotive is best
photographed in the afternoon, during the lower-sun-angle winter months.
Gifford Hill is one of the southwest's major producers of concrete pipe and pipe-related
products. For more information
