Jeez
SR

Oregon Trunk, those things ran as 140/141 (??) and were a pain to shoot because there would be seven or eight units,
it was hard to get a decent shot of all of them. Usually the bell ringers were loud enough to hear from the highway. When'
the C415s which usually hung around KF would come back from Vancouver shopping you could get every running model
of the Alcos plus Fs, GP35S and who knows whatever else in the same consist. But, it's all better now.

SP could get pretty creative as well.

Basin Haulers don't count!   ;-)

Wow ! I wonder if they all played well with each other.

Yep, I shot there often in the early days of BN. The combos were amazing. Here is same spot, almost as good a mix of power. Often got the C415's in road service.
