Nostalgia & History > Long line of locomotives....

I don't recall the specifics of this shot...other then it was January 1984, just south of Dayton Tower...in Los Angeles... Not sure if this SD-7 was pulling a line of dead locos...to salvage/scrap or something else.

wowo, interesting monster power move there at Dayton. Always found it hard to stop and photograph trains down there by the bridges next to San Fernando Blvd. Might be a move from Taylor to WC or to Dolores? hmm, judging by the power trailing back there, Cadillacs, SD45's and GP9E's all in good paint/condition, I'd say these are all "LIVE" units on a light (heavy) power transfer.

Cool photo Nscaler!

Thanks gang.

I agree, in 1984 I doubt these would be going to the scrapper. They all look quite good so it is probably a power move.

Ahhhhh.........a lot of SP locomotives in scarlet and gray!
Thanks, Mike, for posting that! I needed that transfusion of
that good ol' scarlet and gray that I am getting very low on
these days. All that MOTIVE POWER - does me heart good
to see that!...:)
