Western Railroad Discussion > Coming in Third

An eastbound uses the northern mainline to overtake another almost identical eastbound at Amboy earlier this month with the best looking of the four units deep in the consist. Always curious what makes one 4x0 a higher priority than another that was going just as fast until held. As usual, there was a westbound 2x0 tied down in the siding.
Be of good cheer,

One train could be a Z train while the other may only be a Q.

Very Nice shots. I agree with you on #1 best looking power was in third place.

Very nice! I saw that train with the "Mac" earlier that morning on Cajon.

Had not considered that, thank you.
