Shoot, we used to camp (3 cars) and cook out on the small cut at the east switch of the siding, around the corner from this shot. Everyone behaved themselves and things were great. Back in the good ol' days... Date: 09/14/21 15:28 Re: Tunnel Motor Tuesday Author: 3rdswitch Good one. Looks like you caught the infamous pealing 7319 back in the mid train helpers.

JG Posted from Android Date: 09/14/21 20:32 Re: Tunnel Motor Tuesday Author: dmaffei Cool photo
love images with train wrapping around background like this. 7319 in camouflage adds value. Makes me miss the sights and sounds of the late SP Date: 09/15/21 02:59 Re: Tunnel Motor Tuesday Author: Railfan4Christ spdaylight Wrote:

However, more and more people started leaving more and more garbage and not respecting the private property signs got the access to this spot closed. Yes that is SP 7319 in the helper set in the background. This unit always a-peeled to me :) Tom Date: 09/15/21 07:50 Re: Tunnel Motor Tuesday Author: SP8595 Fantastic shot!
Date: 09/15/21 08:44 Re: Tunnel Motor Tuesday Author: Conch Man, that 7319 looked like a camo unit back there. I've seen some SD45 tunnel motors with bad paint but nothing like this.
