Wonderful old images Steve...and they really bring back some great memories for me. When I was stationed @ Edwards AFB in the 60's, I used to go out there frequently on days off. The Trona was pretty lenient about being on the property, especially if they knew who you were. I got to know an electrician named Pete Gagich who took a lot of his time to show me things around the enginehouse. He also hostled and I got to experience that unique throttle that the centercabs had. Those were pulling monsters, but also the worst riding locomotives that I have ever been on.
Thanks again for your post.
