Interesting combination |
Description: |
I stopped to get gas at the TA in Ontario, Cal, where, on my last visit 14 years prior, this line had been at grade level. Now it passes high overhead, which is a blessing for road traffic here. While I was filling up, this transfer came by, with a pair of SD 60s fronting a pair of gensets. Til this point, these were the only gensets I had seen. Too bad I was on the dark side. |

Westbound |
Description: |
A westbound with typical power for the time rolls past the rest area at Boardman along I 84. UP had just taken over CNW, and their power was really starting to integrate into UPs fleet. Because CNW power could lead on UP, it often was found in that position. |
