Nostalgia & History > Espee Style - 14 UnitsDate: 07/19/06 19:14 Espee Style - 14 Units Author: Espee4Ever On a Warm June morning 1990, my dad and I came across this Trona bound coal train at Edison with six SDs on the point. The work extra is in hole, but not in the clear.
Tucked in mid-train were six more SDs in deference to Tehachapi's ruling grades. Keeping the slack bunched at least a few cars ahead of the caboose-in-a-box are two more SDs. --espee4ever    Date: 07/20/06 09:24 Re: Espee Style - 14 Units Author: MacBeau Nice SP post!
