Nostalgia & History > Speed Letters meet a few from the 'B-Hive'

Southern Pacific C44-9W's 8142, 8110 and SD40M-2 8617 (MK rebuild) all in Speed Lettered paint meet Southern Pacific B30-7 7873 leading a couple of more Dash 7's at Cade Siding East of Lafayette LA in 1996/97.
 
Pic 1) shows the Westbound manifest in the siding and is one of the few pics I also managed to get published in one of Mr. Strapac's fine volumes of work. (Volume 19 page 99)
 
Pic 2) conductors side view looking West from 8142
