Nostalgia & History > WAG Running Late (#33): Ancient roster!Date: 06/01/23 09:59 WAG Running Late (#33): Ancient roster! Author: santafe199 When is a routine roster shot NOT a roster shot? (Answer: just look below... ;^)
1. UP 1290 sits in Topeka, KS a looong time ago (December 21, 1960). Original Kodachrome slide by William A. Gibson Sr. Thanks for looking back!

If you enlarge the photo you can see under the word "all" the filler connection. Date: 06/01/23 15:15 Re: WAG Running Late (#33): Ancient roster! Author: santafe199 kenN Wrote: > … I was 18 already …
Ken, I’ve been told you’re only as old as you feel! (and boy howdy, am I in trouble!! 😫) Posted from iPhone Date: 06/01/23 15:36 Re: WAG Running Late (#33): Ancient roster! Author: PasadenaSub Great photo of the RSC-2. Looks to be freshly painted or cleaned, as she had 12 years of service at that point in 1960:

Larry Date: 06/02/23 11:26 Re: WAG Running Late (#33): Ancient roster! Author: Notch7 Beautiful shot of the RSC-2. We had similar ex-SAL engines on the SCL. The fuel cap was below the engineers window, making it rough to screw the fuel hose in , unless you had a ladder.
