Nostalgia & History > Tunnel Motor Tuesday.......DRGW

DRGW SD40T-2 5349 is ready to duck into Tunnel 2 with another westbound mixed freight crossing the Tehachapi mountains. An eastbound can be seen in the distance approaching Bealville.
DRGW SD40T-2 5372 leads an eastbound Swift RoadRailer train into the early morning sun at Bealville, CA. in the Tehachapi mountains.
DRGW SD40T-2 5406 is in charge of a trio of tunnel motors as well as an eastbound lumber train at Mojave, CA.
Thanks for looking! Randy

You've captured a former EL SDP45 as the second unit in that first photo.   
It was always nice to see a DRGW unit leading on the SP.  They sure added to the great variety of locomotive types and paint schemes that were running on SP in that era.  

Love the Swift train.
Thanks for posting.
