Nostalgia & History > An SP SD9---in Chicago...Date: 03/24/19 07:45 An SP SD9---in Chicago... Author: ghemr For a few months this locomotive was assigned to the Chicago area for switching and transfer duties. I saw it in use a few times when Southern Pacific was leasing an unused intermodal ramp (Forest Hill) from CSX at the time. It's too bad I didn't catch in in action-----I guess this photo will have to do.....

Author: Milwaukee She couldn't get much further away on the SP system than that from the Oregon and California service she had provided 99% of her life up to that time. That's a far cry from hauling lumber down the Russian River Valley.
Thanks for sharing as I had not heard one made it that far from their normal home. Date: 03/24/19 09:22 Re: An SP SD9---in Chicago... Author: dmaffei And hauling sugar beets in Tracy https://www.trainorders.com/discussion/read.php?11,1086990,1086990#1086990
