Basking in the warm late Spring sun, ACL 1031 and SAL 544 appear to stand waiting for that next call that will likely never come. On quiet days like this, when the shops are still and visitors are nowhere to be found, it's easy to let your mind wander and think back to days when views like this were as common as a GE Widecab on a hot shot freight today. You can close your eyes and almost hear the buzz of activity, the panting of the air pumps and whine of the compressors. When shops like Spencer were the backbone of the railroad, vital to the communities that supported them, and the true "driving force" of the economy. I wonder if there ever was such a place that ACL and SAL steam would have been serviced together like this?
