A real treat!   Looks like a heavy train.  Also a rare look at one of SP's unrebuilt kodachrome SD45's (mid-train).
More please...

Great video of Amtrak and an heavy SP train with clean boxcars, no graffiti.

Congrats on the video of the day! YES!!! That is the SP I grew up with, wow. That brought back fond memories, and what a catch with 6 mid-train helpers AND a caboose in 1988. Very cool. It just goes to show that we shouldn't take the ordinary for granted.
