Nostalgia & History > Wrecked to

SSW 7771 is a beefy baby boat with a history. Primarily, its notoriety arose from the fact that it came from the builder pumping out 3600HP and decorated with side baffles (very cool). It next distinguished itself by getting its cab crunched, which according to legend was rebuilt by Taylor Shops (with some ambiguity about GE’s role). Well, to make a long story short (too late), I thought it might be of some passing interest to see it out front of two sisters and a U33C leaving Colton with an eastbound mixed.

Superb Mac.

Mac,

If you don't mind...What kind of camera and film do you use for most of your photos? Nice work.

Thanks!

And here it is in lease service when BNSF was leasing anything they could get their hands on.
