Nostalgia & History > What scrap metal dealers dream about:Date: 11/22/14 09:07 What scrap metal dealers dream about: Author: CrudPunko SP's famous (at the time) deadline at the Bullring in Los Angeles on May 9, 1980. How many different models can you spot? (© KPR Media Services, all rights reserved)

It took me weeks to recover. Photos of abandoned ROWs have a similar effect, especially if the ties are still somewhat in place. Scrap metal dealers are such vultures! Nice picture though. Okay, it's off to therapy.

Museum in Perris CA. Not quite like hauling freight out of West Colton, but still being a Very Useful Engine.
