An eastbound on the main track meets a westbound lead by MP2138 in a soggy downtown Big Spring, TX. around the first week in September, 1980.
Water from heavy rains west of town have funneled down a creek bed alongside the former T&P r-o-w and settled nicely in the yard. The roadmaster's hirail is parked in the freight house spur awaiting the departure of the eastbound so he may patrol ahead of the westbound.
Not
just heritage schemes, not just commemorative schemes - this album is devoted to some of the world's most interesting paint schemes, past or present.
