SP tunnel motors in Minnesota |
Description: |
I believe this was an experiment by BN to see how this particular set of engines handled tunnels out west. They were on an eastbound coal train heading towards LaCrosse when I got some pictures of them at Oakland Tower on the south end of BNs Daytons Bluff Yard. |

SP 7230 |
Description: |
A little over two weeks after being placed into service SP 7230 leads a freight heading for West Colton traveling on the Palmdale Cutoff. A photo of this same train at the same location by Dale Sanders appears on page 115 of Joe Strapac's Southern Pacific Review 1978-1979. You can see yours truly and my good friend Robert Tinkham in the background of Dale's photo taken from the hill a little west of our location. |

Description: |
UP changed their strategy somewhat going with high output 4 axle power. a departure from the "bigger is better" school of thought. it seems that they did not purchase to may of these, so perhaps they rethought this. |
