All new stuff for me... That sure is a motley looking "consist" in your #1. THAT would have been some kind of a sight out on the road! Even for Uncle Pete's 70s [loose] standards...

Nice images.

Where where you standing to get the second photo? Seems too low for a bridge. Were you on a signal structure?

Nothing wrong with "repeats" of such classic images. Please keep 'em coming!

Great selection JB. Agree with Valmont - great A-B-A lash-up. There was great variety back in those days.

Great angle in the second shot. Looks like the BDS (Blue Diamond Special).

Best regards,

Glad to see them this time because I don't remember them being posted previously. UP could really mix the power, but the DD35s are a great catch. Thanks for digging them out again.

Always nice to see such variety. Thanks for posting.

In photo 1, that sure is one dirty headlight on 961.

Being in '72, was UP 961 an Amtrak engine at the time?

Ah the third in Pico Rivera, my hometown...I remember seeing these hot UP frieghts with the DD35's hauling butt passing through...

Photo #1: pure EMD glory!

Sleek passenger engine. Early generation freight power with turbo. Later generation custom freight engines that no one else had. Pure glory.
