Warbonnets Wednesday: A matched set!
Author: march_hare

It's a hot day in August 1992, and I've just arrived on a brief railfanning blitz, courtesy of free airline tickets from the east coast. The first train I encounter when I arrive trackside has an A-B-A set of GP60s. It's horrible high sun, but up the hill we go anyway. 

But approaching Woodford, the crew has opened the nose door, probably due to inadequate A/C in the cab. This continued all the way over the hill.

Very nice! Thank you for sharing.

You were lucky. They were not always run in a matched set.

In all my years pursuing these things, it's the only matched set w/ B units I ever saw.
