Western Railroad Discussion > Today's news at OERM about SP 1006, 8/10/19

After reinstalling the bell, marker lights and front grill, the SP 1006 was pulled out for pictures showing its current status. Still to come will be the final painting by the diesel crew for the trucks and fuel tank and the replacement of the Lexan windows with actual glass. After some picture time for the assembled visitors, the locomotive was started and operated for a short time.Stay tuned!

Outstanding!   Tom, I look forward to your posts, keep up the good work.  

This looks like and perhaps is one of those SP diesels that got me started with a fascination of railroading way back as a toddler in 1945. We lived in Oakland, CA and just about every day I saw a locomotive like this heading up the branch line to the old Chevrolet plant on the edge of San Leandro. Saw nothing but steam elsewhere until around 1955.

Beautiful!!!!!!!!!!
