Western Railroad Discussion > Some more Tier IV's this morning

Saw these pass by my house this morning so I gave a little chase. We've got some bad weather heading our way so I thought I'd better get out while I can. I photographed this threesome  near Mt Shasta City.

Very nice catch!

Excellent........thank you...

Good looking power in a good looking shot:}

Tower's comment got me thinking, With all these new Tier IV's coming in and super clean diesel locomotives, will the SOOT on tunnels disappear and keep the locomotives cleaner? In the past, the Cascade tunnel soot caused clean locomotives to get black fast. Will this be a thing of the past? Cool Golf coarse shot "P" Bob..

I bet they get dirty fast. The tier 3 es44s that are also in the 2000 series are only a few months old, and already starting to get black on the mixed freights in CA.
