Remarks & Notes

As SSW 9647 East, a BKDOU, passes on the main line, an SP work train in the south siding at Woodford picks up spikes and other metal "debris" from the right of way using a big magnet attached to a crane. In the north siding, a westbound Santa Fe vehicle train waits for the Oil Cans to pass.

What California is known for. Fires, droughts, weed, and people waving rainbow flags. Yah. Great place alright. At least the trains are nice.

The EMD SD (special duty) series are a strong and reliable kind of locomotive which still serve America's rails today. They have proved themselves reliable by clocking in several million miles of freight service over several decades.

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