My first speed lettering sighting [1991]
Author: gonx

I wasn't expecting to see SP 7132 with new spped lettering leading Amtrak California Zephyr on Donner Pass.
The train also borrowed the Transco HEP power car for the private car.

That's funny, I can remember my first speed lettering sighting too. I guess being a life-long SP fan, that kind of change makes a impression on you! Mine was a pair of GP60s, Westbound in Soledad Canyon. My train wasn't nearly as cool as your's tho! ;-)
Thx for the video!

Plus, ditch lights, not a common sight in 1991.
