Western Railroad Discussion > Now and ThenDate: 11/30/22 11:07 Now and Then Author: MacBeau Back in April this year, the ex-ATSF 106 was part of a matched trio switching local industries between Riverside and Highgrove on the San Bernardino Sub. On a June day 1990, Richard Egen caught the 106 fresh from the builder lifting an eastbound around Tehachapi.

But then a some idiots who could not clean up after themselves ruined it for everyone else. Date: 11/30/22 13:14 Re: Now and Then Author: PasadenaSub Nice comparison. I think that trio may still be intact on the San Jac local - I recall seeing the 120 a couple weeks ago along the 215 near March ARB.

Andy Date: 11/30/22 21:42 Re: Now and Then Author: GN599 I've always liked these guys no matter what scheme. Warbonnet being the first choice naturally! One nice thing about the units the have that been "swooshed" is the fact that they ditched the desktop control stand👍 The classic style control stand make them way better to run. At least that's what I experienced when I had the 136 a couple months ago. I suspect the others have received the same treatment.
