Nostalgia & History > rolling stock, mostly freshDate: 07/23/06 17:12 rolling stock, mostly fresh Author: FT One of the comments on my post of Mc Cloud SD's when new was fresh painted cars. Here are some.
AMC 516 - Ogden,UT fall of '77 (car built 6-76) MR 2114 - Tacoma,WA 6-6-77 (must have been it's first trip as it was built 6-77) SERA 4041 Oakdale,CA 4-11-77 (blt 12-76)    Date: 07/23/06 17:17 Re: rolling stock, mostly fresh Author: FT One more I'd like to know more about. At the Sierra, April of 1982. I found this Wabash Valley hack.
Did this become a Sierra cab? If not what was it doing there. That was a short lived road in Indiana, as I recall, that was operated by a division of MK.

Didn't they have those cool MK SD-whatevers with the DD35 long hood ends?

Thanks for posting! -Rick Rick Selby Redmond, WA Pacific Northwest RPM Date: 07/24/06 18:01 Re: rolling stock, mostly fresh Author: steamdiesel I recall seeing the burned caboose and wondered when the railroad was going to fence off the yard to keep the rolling stock safe.
