Tunnel Motor Tuesday, SP . . .
Author: 3rdswitch

.   .   .   repost alert, in DEC '76 SP8300 was climbing Beaumont Pass eastbound in San Timotao Canyon near El Casco, CA. Yes, this train did have RCE helpers mid train which included a trio of borrowed CN GP40W's with positive traction control that SP was testing which I have added.

Very sharp photo of the classic Scarlet and Lark Dark Gray in the canyon.

In later years it went to Oregon and received a nice Nathan P5 horn.
