MK 5303         
This bizarre looking creature, spotted in CR's former NYC Sharonville engine terminal, was an M-K rebrild of UP U25B 630, using a 16-567B engine from a retired B&O F7A and a custom nose and hood. I think the correct model designation is TE53-4E. Mechanically similar to the rebuilt U25Bs hn the OC&E, but quite different in appearance. Date of photo approximate.
