Coal train east |
Description: |
Right after Memorial Day 1996, I delivered a load of beer to a distributor in Ottumwa Iowa. While waiting on my next load, I caught this train rolling east. In the pre SD70 and AC4400 everywhere era, coal trains usually got a mix of 3000 HP units, such as these. |

Description: |
The power by itself is notable, but the rolling stock is classic. I was getting loaded at the Budweiser plant in Ft Collins when this local showed up to work. The cars make the shot. Whod have figured NP and Frisco boxcars in 1997?? |
