M&ET 613 has been saved by PSRM, Campo, CA. Load out is scheduled for 7-11-2011. The unit is ex SP 5119 and is the last of the 70 tonners to run on SD&AE in San Diego. It will run again on the 20 miles of SD&AE that PSRM operates in the mountains east of San Diego but back dated to original SP appearance.

That's fascinating...a locomotive running along a city street and waiting in line with the autos for another train to pass. Makes me wonder, there are tracks criss-crossing the entire nation....how many places like this are there where a train waits at a red light for another to pass in front of it?

M&ET use Gensets now, but last I heard, the 70 tonners are still around for reserve duty.
