Remarks & Notes

UP SD40-2 no. 8007 shows off its "snoot" at Argo Yard, Seattle. The 8000 series were known as the "Fast Forties" geared to run at higher speeds than stock SD40-2s. They were often found splicing a pair of Centennials along the Columbia River Gorge on the hottest intermodal trains in the mid 1970s. UP meant it when they said "We can handle it" back then.

Railroading in the 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, basically anything but the 2000s.
