Model Railroading > It's such a Drag...

SP SD45X #9503 leads a run through UP SD40-2 and a standard SP SD45 on a drag freight heading into the mountains of the Caldwell Model Railroad Club & Historical Society layout in Caldwell, ID. A SP SD40T-2 is cut in 2/3rds back to get the long train through the steep and sharp curves.

Wow, long train and thank goodness it has a caboose.

Nice.
Quite an investment in rolling stock on that train and all accurate!

Awesome, Ted. Are those all your cars, or a club mix? Either way, it’s a great train reflecting a lot of modeling work and skill. Very nice!

Thanks guys. It's all my own equipment. I've been buying the SP cars in the recent releases from Tangent, Rapido, Atlas, Moloco as well as buying some of the older Athearn and Intermountain cars to replace my earlier fleet of upgraded MDC and E&C Shops cars. Just need to catch up on the weathering now.

Being an SP fan and much of the rolling stock also ran across the Rockies I recognize Athearn Genesis, Tangent, Intermountain, Rapido and Moloco - oh and Wheels of Time, freight cars in that train, which I also have all those too.  Good times for SP fans!

Cheers,
Jim
