As always, I enjoyed the view and seeing it made me think of Tom LeBroke who was an SP engineer out of Sparks. I think he'd retired by that time. But it made me think of him, a good man he was.

I don't recall seeing too many Cotton Belt Locomotives leading on an Amtrak Train. Thanks for sharing

I bet all the host railroads then were gettin' fed up with leasin' their units to help Amtrak out!
