good old Santa Fe
Author: 3rdswitch

Back in August '90, it seems like a lifetime, one of Santa Fe's hottest westbounds, train 198 [edited, thanks] was approaching Cajon Campground led by a quartet of faded GP50/GP40X's. Out the mighty have fallen as these units are either gone or seen only on locals and work trains.

YOu sure that's the 199? I say it's the 198 since the 199 goes to Richmond! Nice shot though 3RD Switch!

True, but then the 40X's are going on 28 years old, and 3818 is 25 this month. A quarter century is pretty good for locomotives that had a less than sterling reputation on a lot of roads.
