Date: 03/10/11 09:54 Re: SP visitor Author: spjim Hiland, CA, Nov. 25, 1977. The Seaboard Coast Line U-36Bs, spliced by a "More Axles for Tractive Effort" (MATE) road slug, had been the rear end helpers on a westbound freight from West Colton. SCL 1851, 3215 and 1855 tested on the SP for about two months in late 1977 and early 1978.
