Classic power |
| Description: |
A pair of SD40-2s, one very clean unit from UP and one an ex MP general service unit, and an SP B boat lead a train past a customer where I was making a pick up. Not a bad place to spend an hour or so. |

More familiar power |
| Description: |
I had just seen a train with CNW power. Always a good thing, but Texans are more familiar with these units, though the CR SD 60 may be a little foreign to them. The trailing unit is one of the ex MP units UP removed the controls from and desgnated as a trailing only unit. Note the "B" in the numberboard to indicate such. |
