That's something I didn't do looking back on it. I hostled at the Meadows Motor Pit in S. Kearny, NJ. I moved GG1's, E33 and E44's all the time. On the diesel side, just about every kind of EMD, GE and ALCo.

Early attempt came out great Joe.  I miss those high nose flares.

I remember seeing them and actually getting a photo of NW 1776 (repainted to black by then) while switching on the 2nd sub in Pasadena

This is probably one of the coolest SD45 roster shots I've ever seen. Thanks so much for sharing!
