    In a rare move, a single SP AC leads the mty TASNC down hill (west) at Woodford, just below the Tehachapi Loop. Seeing trains in this era with a single unit was pretty rare.

    Something interesting I spotted on a St. Louis MO railcam (LiveTrains), earlier today:
    PromontoryPoint-at-StLouis-MO-e.jpg
    An old Pullman with a clerestory roof was along for the ride too.

    Raining cats and dogs, the two guys on the observation platform had it right in the face with the wind...:confused: They could have both used a nice, big hot mug of coffee after this move!:coffee:

    Fortunately, the lens of this camera was facing leeward!

    Pushed by three TRRA Geeps toward the 12th Street Yard.

    The VW badge on the front end has been replaced by a DB for Deutsche Bahn.

    Note the "C424M" under the logo on the cab. A hint of the change under the hood - the 2400 hp 16-cylinder 251B was replaced by a more reliable 2000 hp 12-cylinder 251C by GE in the late 1970s when Conrail was retiring them.

    Someone give that beautiful lady a bath!

    Those big girls looked great in Erie garb, especially that big winged logo across the nose.:love:
