Nice that the entire Santa Fe train passed before the SP mid-train helpers arrived. Tim Costello Date: 08/29/14 18:03 Re: A meet at Woodford, CA 10-05-86 Author: coach I miss the sound of many EMD 645-series engines at full throttle. Great sound--not muffled, restricted or impeded. Pure, raw sound of power.

Minor quibble: The lead unit is an SD40R, not SD40M. Please post more if you have. |
