Close up
Title:  Close up
Description:  Not exactly a proper roster shot, this is the nose of the unit on the San Joaquin Valley job at Visalia. It was perfectly posed for the setting sun as it sat on the main, ready for the next days action.

Theyre everywhere
Title:  Theyre everywhere
Description:  Years ago, if you wanted to see G&W power, you had to go to western New York, where the original operation had a small fleet of Alcos they used to run salt trains from the mine in Retsof. Over the years, they became a much larger operation, a holding company with short and regional lines all over. While on the way to Tehachapi, I saw this train rolling through Bakersfield, and was able to get a shot. The day before, I had seen one in Visalia, not too far away.
