They're Commute units, they were always kept looking good or else!

Those 3200's were horrible to have on the midday trains that might have only two or three cars.  Too much weight to stop every mile to mile and a half.  Using the dynamic brake during each stop would help a lot, but was extra work.

Always liked  SP's SDP-45's, it was nice to see them roam around the system in the Bay Area on weekends, the 3205 had a sweet sounding Nathan M-5 saw it a few times in Martinez.
