Northbound Manifest Freight |
| Description: |
It's Halloween but trains still roll, this one seen from the P.B. spot, led by two old workhorses, an SD40-2 and an SD40R. Both trains that I got photos of today were running elephant style. |

| Title: |
Ex-SP |
| Description: |
This Ex-SP SD40 was part of Southern Pacific's GRIP (General Rehabilitation and Improvement Program) in the early '80s where this locomotive became an SD40R. It was one of the lucky 17 that survived the SP/UP merger and was never renumbered. It was sold to GECX in 2001 and the "Pacific" was removed, leaving only the "Southern" on the side of the unit, making it appear as something that it clearly isn't. There is a VERY small GECX marking above the road number. |

Southbound Local |
| Description: |
Here's the lead unit, an ex-UP GECX. When the train got here I realized that it was the inbound local. It was rare to have 6 axle power on the head end! |
