BB: UP style ABB train 1977
Author: valmont

Bruce Black caught this freight on July 16, 1977, location not noted. GP9 #160 leads 2 SD24B's in an atypical ABB trio ... but then, of course, this was the UP then.

Be still my beating heart. Ah yes, back when the motive power was all unique.
My heart still beats to the sound of an EMD 567.

Great look and a great sound. High nose geeps as it should be.

I saw many a lash-up like that back in those quaint 1970s. Even on the KP! Thanks for a great memory and a unique slice of RR history...
