1 week before the UP took over we shot the SP action on the Golden State Route. We played hell trying to catch this stacker who was rolling along at 70 mph.
During the early 90's the SP was quite colorful with begged and borrowed power. Witness this scene at Joliet with a set of rare C39-8's on CHPBM (Chicago-Pine Bluff Manifest).
After exchanging train crews on the SP at Jackson St. this EJ&E crew will forward this empty ore train to the WC at Leighton IL. Today the WC and EJ&E are folded into CN's camp.
