The "That 70's (mostly) Train Show" continues with these photos. These are the former Fairbanks Morse Train Naster demonstrators TM-3 and TM-4.

Southern Pacific FM Train Master 3021, also an ex demonstrator, at the Bayshore Roundhouse, San Francisco, CA on July 15, 1974.

A little story: My dad was an SP hoghead (locomotive engineer). He hired out with SP in 1945. When he saw the Fairbanks Morse Train Master locomotive demonstrators touring the SP he said to the SP officials there, "Oh God, last thing we need is another Trainmaster!"

PS: My foot is healing very slowly. I am able to walk in normal shoes now, but it still is tender.
