The Engineer in those photos is Ed Dickens from the Union Pacific, which seems a bit odd that a UP Manager would be the Engineer of the Santa Fe 3751, on an Amtrak move over the BNSF.

Wasn't this a Metrolink move over Metrolink (San Gabriel Sub)? Date: 04/12/14 19:02 Re: Yet more of the ATSF 3751 trip today Author: lupislune I've seen Ed run the ATSF 3751 on past trips. I still think it is a bit odd for a variety of reasons.
I wish that I had been in Socal to see the 3751 run. It is such a good looking engine. Date: 04/12/14 19:07 Re: Yet more of the ATSF 3751 trip today Author: DRGW5502 HotWater Wrote:

Man in the photo is not Ed, although he was on board. UP has trackage rights on about half the mileage.

Ok, you win! What color is the sky? Posted from iPhone Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 04/12/14 19:52 by DRGW5502. Date: 04/12/14 19:54 Re: Yet more of the ATSF 3751 trip today Author: daylight Yep. From bumping post to bumping post, this run was 100% on Metrolink tracks.
Date: 04/12/14 20:15 Re: Yet more of the ATSF 3751 trip today Author: mt19a Let's get one thing straight, Bill Stetler was the Engineer. Ed Dickens was the Fireman.
Date: 04/12/14 20:23 Re: Yet more of the ATSF 3751 trip today Author: flash34 I too had heard that Bill ran and Ed fired, but looking at that picture it was really hard to tell. If its Bill then he shaved off his goatee.

I'd know Ed from a mile away. It is him in picture 2,3 & 5. Date: 04/12/14 20:49 Re: Yet more of the ATSF 3751 trip today Author: jdc3751 The engineer was Bill Stetler and the fireman was Ed Dickens. There is no argument or room for interpretation. This is a fact.
