We start the SP Centuries

The That 70's (mostly) train show now moves into the realm of the Big Alcos of the SP. These are some earlier scans and are a taste of what is coming. If you don't like Alcos I am sorry, we are going to be here awhile. If you do like Alcos, relax and enjoy the ride.

Here are some scans done in the past. This is a taste of what is coming.

Me on an SP Alco C628, the 7109. This is a scan off a slide my father took in Roseville, CA. The big Alcos were then stored out of service, so I climbed up on one and he took the photo. My dad was an SP locomotive engineer so we went anywhere we wanted, including inside the shops.
