SP helpers at Colfax (fictional)

For fun. HO Scale. Enjoy!
Featuring my custom built GP38-2 snowfighter with icicle breakers. Train length: 72 cars.

10 powered units were used;
Lead:
Ath- GP38-2 #4841
Ath- SD45T-2 #9180
Kato- SD45 #9075
Ath- SD45T-2 #9173
Ath- SD40 #8483
Helpers:
Ath- SD45T-2 #9372 (Cotton Belt)
Ath- SD45T-2 #9191
Ath- SD45T-2 #9259 (Mike F's unit)
Ath- SD40T-2 #8283
Kato- SD45R #7514

Pig train:
Ath- SD45 #9047
Kato SD45 #9078

For added interest, the GP38-2 would have cut off at Truckee. The helper set would go back to Colfax. This loaded manifest, was routed on the No 1 track, requiring plenty of help for a safe trip over Donner Pass.

Wow do you have the full set of SP light packages and details on all your locomotives? Quite amazing Im jealous. Right now I have a beat up and almost trashed ATSF GP40 from my childhood and most likely I will convert it to an Espee unit with sound and dcc

2% grade some weathering than id bre afraid youd have a ShrinkRay

10 engines for a 72 car train lol i don't know much about Donner Pass, but that seems like overkill lol could be wrong

@jmm2000 yeah... i always noticed that SP always goes overkill on the amount of engines attatched

[badgerbuddy]

72 cars!... thats impressive... what rail line/ state is your model railroad modeled after?
