Great looking SP rebuilds
Author: SuperC

I thought these M-K rebuilds looked great in SP colors. Loved seeing them on the point of the PCX trains on the I-5. Here they assist the 4449 on the way to Railfair '91.

I never thought Gray and Scarlet looked better than this! Thanks for the memory... I was lucky enough to be there that day, woo hoo!

They did look great, but how happy were you that day to see them on the front of 4449 ?

Only thing that sucked was when SP began runnin' them a lot over the mountains because of the power problems they had because most six axles were showin' their age!

I was the pilot on the 49 that day with Mike Rodgers. (I believe the pic is from Black Butte)and they backed the power up the main, while we took water at the plug, to put it on the point.
