Nostalgia & History > Unusual power in Eugene OR?Date: 11/10/12 08:06 Unusual power in Eugene OR? Author: coosbaytoday Saw these units back in July 1976.
Maybe they got lost from Southern California? Todd Montgomery Springfield OR    Date: 11/10/12 08:10 Re: Unusual power in Eugene OR? Author: SanJoaquinEngr In those years this power was part of the TF the Tehachapi Freight Pool Power ... Must of been a power shortage and the power went through from either LA or West Colton..

Thanks for sharing. Date: 11/10/12 10:42 Re: Unusual power in Eugene OR? Author: fredkharrison Date: 11/10/12 12:23 Re: Unusual power in Eugene OR? Author: WAF From 1976 onward, the SP became critically short on power. I believe at this time because of it, the traditional BK-Tehachapi of SD9,35s,39s and U30C was abolished, so power went everywhere
