Description
While General Electric B40-8s like the one on the point of this train was a fairly common sight on the Southern Pacific Coast Line in the '90s, the two engines directly behind it were such a rarity that I only saw them this one time. The EMD model SW1500 was originally designed to be a used as an switcher moving freight cars around industries or working on branch lines, but it also found a place with larger Class I railroads like the Southern Pacific where they were put into use on the mainline as well. Production lasted from 1966 to 1974, and SP 2612 was built in 1971.
