Western Railroad Discussion > "Real" SP Heritage on the GSRDate: 05/11/19 01:05 "Real" SP Heritage on the GSR Author: mg8711 A day under a month ago, one of the last SP painted AC4400CW's rolled west on the ex SSW (SP) exx Rock Island Golden State Route (GSR) pointing train IDULB-12 here in Kansas. In a bit of a twist, the IDULB is what remains of the Blue Streak Merchandise (BSM). The DULB doesn't run with nearly the same speed as the BSM did however, and the chase was relatively easy.
1) After a nearly hour long wait, and almost getting robbed of the scene by shadows, UP 6318 and train are passing Alta Vista, KS. 2) Easing down the main at White City now, the train whistles through town, running on an approach signal for a red at the west end of the siding. 3) Blowing by Latimer, the 6318 and train are nearing a crew change ahead at Herington. Images taken April 12th, 2019 Thanks for looking! mg8711 Date: 05/11/19 05:01 Re: "Real" SP Heritage on the GSR Author: santafe199 Excellent chase!
