Eastbound POTB train FX-4414-20 passes POTB GP9 3771 (with SD9E 4368 behind) at Buxton after letting a conductor (thats him on the right) off. This is the last SP painted unit on the roster.
These units have not moved very far since I saw them 2 months ago, they re just in a different configuration.

I hiked up about 50 feet in elevation up a slippery, slimy hillside to get to track level in constant drizzle. Then it turned to downpour! 1/80th of a second, f/1.4, Provia 100F pushed to 400.
