Wow, a shot that's as rare as hen's teeth!  Those units didn't stay in the single and double digit series very long, and catching 3 of them together was pretty unusual as I recall.  Nice catch!

Agree about the low digit rarity. Nice set of Eagles !

Low numbers and a scenic location make this twice as  good.

Well done. There was a lot going on in Oz back then. Frequently used for Neff bypass. If you have more, please post.

One heck of a shot!  My grandparents lived closed to Hoisington, the crew change point.  Used to see MP trains when we went to town and got groceries.

This is extraordinarily special with the low numbers, and I just have a thing for big GEs in solid paint like these.

Killer catch and shot! The single digit numbers are pretty cool as well:}
