SP Black Widow SD9 w/train 1965
Author: valmont

This terrific Alan Miller shot was taken in June 1965 in the Saugus, CA area. SD9 #5490 is in the lead followed by #5488 and the last 2 units appear to be SD35's, looks like #4829 is the first of them.

As stated in a response when "valmont" first posted this photo on May 15, 2012, it "was taken on the Saugus Line (eastbound) between Humphreys and Honby Sidings..."

thanks for the re-post.
Amazing to see the combination of paint and locomotive models that can happen at those dates.

Is Alan Miller still around or has he passed?

OH Man you just got Sweetserized. You should have remembered this shot from back in 2012 It sticks out in my mind and I can't believe it was posted again, Nice catch John and another lesson learned in search back a decade or so to see if it was already posted. I even used spell check to make sure my spelling was wright.

One advantage of "reposted" images is that they become viewable on TO in the present larger and sharper format than was previously available.

So don't be bashful about "re-posting" shots like this!

Classic SP. THANKS FOR THE REPOST.
I missed it the first time. All good photos as well as good programs on TV are worth another look. Thanks for your sharing.

Shots like that should be regurgitated every so often.  Some of us don’t see everything the
first time around.
