Awesome shot Herb. It looks like the engineer is notching up the power.

Nice! Its wonderful to see a SD45 before the vandels ripped off the nose lights, changed the numbers or added that slanty type lettering. ;D

Seeing both roads in this photo reminds me that the Southern Pacific called this location Dike and the Santa Fe called it Devore. Go figure!!
