Remarks & Notes

Lead an eastbound intermodal train as it snakes its way past the big basalt hills at Siberia. Santa Fe SD40-2 No. 5058 sports a rare set of headlights in its nose. The lights were Oscitrol warning lights, installed on SD40-2s Nos. 5058-5070 for coal service teamed with SP units 8489-8498 between Defiance, NM, and Cochise, AZ. The Oscitrol lights were installed to equip Santa Fe's 40s with a light package more akin to that of the SP locos.

What California is known for. Fires, droughts, weed, and people waving rainbow flags. Yah. Great place alright. At least the trains are nice.

The EMD SD (special duty) series are a strong and reliable kind of locomotive which still serve America's rails today. They have proved themselves reliable by clocking in several million miles of freight service over several decades.

Railroading in the 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, basically anything but the 2000s.
