Western Railroad Discussion > chasing the saugus local todayDate: 10/29/14 13:32 chasing the saugus local today Author: tc First I would like to say thanks to the saugus crew for giving the old girl a good coat of makeup sure looks good. the Boss and I didn't get along yesterday so I used a sick day today(COUGH COUGH) so off I went to chase the Saugus local before the local vandals got ahold of it again. 1st shot is the local N/B in sylmar ca approaching CP Balboa on the metrolink I was hopeing they would do some switching at DWP but no luck so off I went to CP portal for the second shot trying to make up for the first. 3rd is the train coming back S/B from saugus where the light so bad so no shots at saugus. 3rd is at CP Honby

Thanks for sharing, ~Ryan Date: 10/29/14 16:32 Re: chasing the saugus local today Author: Josiah If memory serves me correctly, it was the Gemco crews that painted the caboose? Can someone closer to the action confirm? Nice to see the graffiti bandits/artists have not taken over and undone the nice paint job.

...Lorenzo Date: 10/30/14 01:44 Re: chasing the saugus local today Author: Fizzboy7 Love the pics! As much as I hate getting stuck in traffic over that pass each week, it's nice to see the trains once in a while pop through.
The caboose was indeed repainted by the crews last month. It coincided with one of the crew member's retirement/party at the Gemco Depot. Date: 10/30/14 06:06 Re: chasing the saugus local today Author: SP8595 Great series, that last shot is Fantastic!

Date: 10/30/14 07:07 Re: chasing the saugus local today Author: atsf121 #9 is fantastic, great job. Love the new paint job, but it doesn't have enough grime to match what I remember seeing as a kid. :)
