i live just 30 miles from Newcastle, in Upton, and we get all those trains thru here..i miss the old days of the SD40-2's and their turbo's whining as the pulled freight and coal thru here
I very much miss those days as well. My fondest memories is of the Oakway SD-60's or the SD-60M horns echoing off the hills as the trains came through town. I also miss the single track, especially at Pedro. It seems they are staging trains there and it blocks the curve.
Kinda makes wonder if they're gonna double track that section between Pedro and Osage..kinda stupid to leave a single track in that place, when there's double from Gillette to Alliance, except for there.
i no what you mean about the SD60s and SD60Ms. the most beautiful K3LA horns ever. the SD40-2s were perfect. AND LMX i miss them. sadly i was only 1 year old in july 1993. so i was too young to appreciate them. but im glad you could. thank you for documenting the cool BN trains.
Memories , memeories . i visited the powder river basin when i was 5! I totaly want that. I love the whole idea of mixing the BN era with the BNSF era! Totaly going on my christmas list! like the horn on the cream green mac at 2:31!!!!!!!
I prefer the original Newcastle !
