Living in the Past;; Black Diamonds
Author: funnelfan

Had some fun down at the club last night running my BN era coal train. It wasn't planned, but fellow club member, "Wesolint" from youtube brought down the modern version of the same train with BNSF RD4 hoppers and DPU power. I didn't get any pics of his train though, but both trains were the exact same length. We were running the trains in both directions in a loads west, empties east fashion.

Looks good, Ted. Are the locos Proto and Atlas? The number on the C30-7 looks very large compared to the SD60M.

Yes, the 60's are P2K and the C30-7 is a Atlas.

Whatever happened to the Oakways?? I've seen several re-numbered 60Ms in the Spokane area (1411, 1471, plus one other that had been repainted).

Oakways are gone to CN, running around in full CN paint as their 5400 series.
