Times a tough for this once-elegant unit now that there are no more Chiefs to pull, only lint picking locals in Texas. Oh, well it's honest work.

Just a lowly B-unit but a nice fresh looking one in the rare yellow stainless steel sheme. I which I could have caught an A & B together.

I wish I could have spent more time in central Texas in the 70s. We just didn't have these things in California. I think this is the only one I ever got unrebuilt be with the new paint job.

Just another rebuild.

Great old freight beasts in their last days pulling a local. And by the way don't let old timers tell you trackwork was better "in the old days".

Looking almost as if waiting for a long passenger train to arrive this beautiful if somewhat battered consist will take a freight somewhere. Cushy passenger jobs are long gone.

A friend was on the way to USAF OTS at San Antonio so it was an opportunity of a road trip. Thank goodness for such opportunities, and Kodachrome 25.

While rolling off roll after roll of new FNM Super 7s, several of these were tucked in with them. This is ex Soo 6346, nee MILW 173.

Hordes of these Super 7s were stored at the old Clebune shops in the early 90s. Felt like spreading some dirt on those black trucks to add contrast! :-)
