At NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, the NASA Railroad Maintenance Crew poses alongside NASA Railroad locomotive 3. From left are Rick Koury, Will Eriksen, Mike Stephens, Chris Bryant, Gary Steele, Jesse Crews and Mike Fitch. The team at Kennedy completed the refurbishment of locomotive 3 in October. The 15-month process, including a new paint scheme, dealt with extensive corrosion to the locomotive because of Kennedy's proximity to the Atlantic Ocean. Locomotives 1 and 2 also will be refurbished eventually. The NASA Railroad locomotives are SW-1500 switch engines built by Electro Motive Diesel (EMD). Photo credit: NASA/Amanda Diller
