The snoots added a little variety to arguably the best locomotive of the 20th Century.

Remember the days when you'd say perfectly ridiculous things like "Oh crap, just another SD-40-2". Those days are going away.

Remember back in the day when you'd say perfectly ridiculous things like "Wow, a GE!"

I believe this was the the highest numbered one, if you don't count the ex-EMD demo 875, which also liked to hang out on this local train in its latter days.

These seem to be on their way to "honorary steam locomotive" status.

Those tanks make the look.

They really had some variety in the little geeps.

Eastbound, I think. This a great consist typifying operations at the time. Nice low sun angle and light.

Another one of those non-descript butt heads that toiled away for decades unnoticed. Get them while you can.

Well maintained and look at that speed recorder cable made for a solid bearing. Unusual.

Still has the old single bulb headlight. Nee PRR, ex-PC.

Originally equipped with a stream generator for passenger service.

Still in the old paint scheme, apparently out of service. Note that the short hood is the front, unusual for a unit so old.

Northbound train from sort of a different angle.

Southbound with face only a mother could love.
