Dale:
That's a beautiful photo of one of my all-time
favorite locomotives -- ever. Isn't she beautiful? :)
I didn't know you knew Neil. Yes, he was a great guy --
and what a sense of humor. And, man, could he ever make
the '72 talk! It's hard to believe it has been 16 years
since he passed away.
Mitch:
Thanks so much for the compliments about the '72.
She is truly a classic. Yeah, it is really too bad she
doesn't get talked about all that much. I, too, very much
wish she could get out onto the main line and really show
people what she can do. She loves it up at 79 mph!
HUTCH:
YEAH! Scarlet and grey RULES!! :) Those are the colors
SP locomotives wore when I became a railfan, so maybe that
is why I like them so much. A great and very practical
paint scheme.
