GP60 Leading Today's Chevron Local
Author: GrandeGold

A nice looking power set on today's Chevron Local including a freshly painted GP60 teamed with a GP40M-2. The pair made easy work of pulling 42 tank cars through Grant Tower in Salt Lake City.

The same GP60 (SSW 9708 ) pictured 21 years ago pulling SP's KCOAF through Mesa, Utah.

Thanks for looking,

James Belmont
Salt Lake City, UT

During the 1990's I always loved catching those GP60's on the KCOAF and Auto trains. 

From what I could gather via the scanner the crews hated them going up the west slope of Donner (without the Truckee helper) especially in inclement weather. They were pretty slippery.

Holy cow, the area around Mesa siding sure has changed.
