Classic power
Title:  Classic power
Description:  Despite having over 1000 widecab GEs on the roster, sometimes trains would show up with old units from another era. Todays 12T is one such train, with an ex Southern high hood SD leading two standard SD40-2s from UP.

A trio of 40s
Title:  A trio of 40s
Description:  From odd places. The leader is an ex Southern SD 40-2, still at it after all these years, and still with the high short hood that was the hallmark of Southern, and merger partner NW. The UP units were a surprise, since by this time, bigger power was standard, and many of the 40 line units were on locals or yard duty. But, 12T was an unusual train, and anything could show up.
