Western Railroad Discussion > Locomotive historiesDate: 09/25/04 09:51 Locomotive histories Author: FT Fans have all sorts of hot buttons that started them shooting train pix. Many on TO are action
oriented,while there are lots of roster and data fans as well. I like it all, but find special reward in the sometimes convoluted paths locos take in their lives. Recently shot LLPX 2281 on the Albany turn of UP, and brother Ken provided the history. PC 7957-CR 7957-EMD 757-UP 1919- UP 419 then LLPX. Ken says he shot it as PC in Collinwood,OH in '76. I was there but as it was just another black PC I didn't shoot it, though I did get a shot from another fan.I find the travels of locos of more interest these days with the monoculture of thousands of widenose units dominate the major remaining roads.
