Passenger Trains > 506 on 506

        A little out of date this one is from February 2019, I lucked out and caught Cascades train #506 pulling away from
    it's station stop at Albany Oregon, I didn't think about it at the time that the engine number was the same as the train number. I 
    was surprised to see 506 as the even numbered P32's were generally kept in the East. A year later it's hard to catch anything
    but the new Chargers on this train.Like a lot of other's this train is currently suspended. Looking at the frame on the 506 I
    wonder if it's had a rough life as it appears to be sagging a bit.

Seems like the S P.

I'd wonder if the frame on the 506 is actually bent.  Just behind the cab is where EMD frames bend. Where does a GE "break?"

Without a good side view there's really no way to tell if it's bent or what.

Looks bent to me.

Well, it's been a little farther back in time than Jeff's picture, but I had the 507 on 507.
