Unfortunate SP-DRGW didn't have a few more years to get healthy, perhaps they could have kept from being absorbed by the Borg.

Yep, Armour yellow is a carcinogen that afflicted a lot of good locomotives. Starts out as a small tumor under the cab windows that quickly becomes malignant and it eventually spreads to cover the whole body. Rest in Peace MP, WP, MKT, DRGW/SP, and CNW….and Tennessee Pass.

I live in Grover beach and I can’t believe how much freight traffic used to run this line. I’ve seen one freight train in the last 10 Years or so. My guess would be that they keep freight off since it’s such a heavy passenger line but who knows. Wish I could see more

I thoroughly enjoyed watching this video. I LOVE watching train activities. I also LOVE watching trains as they sway from side to side... it's so darn cool, like here. 👉 27:15👏😁

Push-pull locals can make for interesting model railroading, especially with DCC available.

Enjoyed the SP business train footage. That thing sparkled.

Only one engineer on the job. The engine on the rear was set up as a boxcar in trailing position
