Oh man, talk about the good old days, I live about 3 miles from CP Prado Dam, this was back before they constructed the double main through here, its good to see those old GE blue and yellow units rolling through. Now a days its constant Metrolink, numerous BNSF stack trains and a daily directional Amtrak operation. Thanks for posting, really enjoyed it!
Actually that SDP40F is now rebuilt to a SDF40-2 for ATSF.

just for a correction....the train is actually powered by 2 SF30Cs (rebuilt U36Cs) & 1 SDP40F

Well theres 2 easy ways to identify the units as what i said.
#1...the SF30Cs have a narrower nose then that of C30-7s or other pre-dash 8 units.
#2-The SDP40Fs have a longer frame after the radiator fans. The FP45s & F45s have shorter frames after the radiator fans.
