Caddys in the Snow by Greg Brown Via Flickr: It's a January morning on the Siskiyou Line in 1988. Southern Pacific 4313 is hard at it, crunching cars with another SD9. The venerable EMDs are at Belleview siding, switching out the Croman Corporation mill on the south side of Ashland, Oregon.

How to replace a test cock tube on 645 EMD engine locomotive.

That sound!    Hmmmmm

Every once in a while, I see something neat and also go, “I know what that is!” -- and I don’t merely mean about the massive EMD645E3 2-stroke diesel engine!

I mean, I see Southern Pacific heritage!

I see snowsheds and summit tunnels, the Sierra, Cascades, and the Tehachapi Loop -- I. see. a. living. breathing.  tunnel motor.

For kicks and giggles, here’s my suppositional identification, which might be wrong, but there’s not a lot of surviving SD40T-2s left, sadly -- I am counting on someone to correct me if I get it wrong lol @eltristan​  @identifying-trains-in-posts-too​ @identifying-trains-in-posts​ @identifying-trains-inposts​

Southern Pacific 8515, grimey and glorious -- Speed Lettering and at some point sold to the Terminal Railroad Association of St. Louis, TRRA 3001  and still going as ILSX 1310 on the leasing company, Independent Locomotive Service

4460 is between fan trips. On the right note the "torpedo boat" GP9 with its typical SP "full light package". On the left is a E in its original daylight scheme. San Francisco, CA July, 1958

Item last by Greg Brown Via Flickr: Late on a spring evening in May 1998, a Union Pacific intermodal train arrives at Klamath Falls, Oregon. The job is about to cross KLAD crossing, which crews have nicknamed for the local radio station that maintained its studios for many years in an adjacent building. As the northbound approaches, the ancient magnetic flagman merrily warns the world that a train is nearing the crossing. Once ubiquitous along lines of the Southern Pacific, the wig wag signal here is the last one in service on the Shasta Route.

Somehow i really almost forgot to post the coolest car I’ve ever seen. Seen at the Monticello Railway Museum. Apparently this car lives somewhere near my uncle since he says he sees it almost everyday on his way to and from work. Not exactly a train but I thought it fit here. I hope maybe I can see it again someday, it was awesome.
