Classic power
Title:  Classic power
Description:  These units, once a mainstay of the GCRY, now mostly work in the high season. For this early April afternoon, they repose on a siding just south of I 40. I stood on an overpass on the interstate to get the shot. The speed limit here is 75 MPH, so I dont recommend it.
