This is a brilliant shot.

Nice to see that Railroad Roman font on the numberboards -- that's class.
Thanks for posting the shots.

Very nice stuff!

I'm guessing this shot of #201 is in pusher mode, as I can't imagine SP tackling Tehatchapi with just one unit on the point!

Butch,,,,,,here we go

Yes, the 201 looks like it's being used in a DPU mode. I don't see anybody in the cab so that must be it.
