SBC 2309 - Mexicali BC, México - 11/14/81 |
| Description: |
A pair of Ferrocarril Sonora–Baja California diesels switch cars in the SBC's rail yard in Mexicali, Baja California, on November 14, 1981. A pair of SBC GP40-2s, two-year-old 2309 and high-nosed 2108 (built in 1973), drag a cut of freight cars in the Mexicali yard. At the border with the United States (not too much farther than the radio tower in the distance), the SBC interchanges with the Southern Pacific. Note that SBC 2309 wears the colors of Nacionales de México, indicating that the era of independent Mexican railroads would soon be drawing to a close, when the SBD was absorbed into NdeM in 1987. (Other independent railroads in México were merged with the NdeM in the 1980s as well.) -- Un par de diésel Ferrocarril Sonora-Baja California cambiaron los autos en el patio de la SBC en Mexicali, Baja California, el 14 de noviembre de 1981. Un par de SBC GP40-2s, 2309 de dos años y 2108 de nariz alta (construido en 1973), arrastre un corte de vagones de carga en esta ciudad fronteriza. En la frontera con los Estados Unidos (no mucho más lejos que la torre de radio en la distancia), el SBC se intercambia con el Pacífico Sur. Tenga en cuenta que SBC 2309 usa los colores de Nacionales de México, lo que indica que la era de los ferrocarriles mexicanos independientes pronto se cerraría, cuando el SBD se absorbió en NdeM en 1987. (Otros ferrocarriles independientes en México se fusionaron con el NdeM en la década de 1980 también.) |

JBCX 3030 - Kingsbury IN - 09/25/21 |
| Description: |
JBC Rail Services GP40-2 3030 sits under a spectacular midwestern sky as it shows off its recently applied "Support Our Troops" paint job. This engine was originally built by EMD in May 1978 as Conrail 3329, later becoming Norfolk Southern 3030. Now working for JBC Rail Services, this engine has retained its NS number but acquired a new reporting mark - JBCX. (Kingsbury, Indiana – September 25, 2021) |

WP 3554 - Vernon CA - 04/08/83 |
| Description: |
Located just five miles from downtown Los Angeles, the city of Vernon has a population of just 112 people (according to the 2010 United States Census), making it the city with the smallest population of any incorporated city in the state of California. (In contrast, adjacent city of Los Angeles had a population of 3,792,621 people in the same 2010 US Census.) Vernon is primarily composed of industrial areas (rail yards, meatpacking plants, a now closed battery recycling plant and warehouses) and touts itself as "exclusively industrial." As you can see, Vernon is a real garden spot! On April 8, 1983, a pair of recently acquired Western Pacific GP40-2s, consecutively numbered 3554 and 3555, lead the Union Pacific's westbound Mead Local past a billboard for new owner UP as it passes through the typically gritty landscape of Vernon. The Western Pacific (along with Missouri Pacific) was merged with the Union Pacific just the year before, and it would take several years for the much larger Union Pacific to wipe out the WP's identity. Southern California railfans, however, enjoyed the infusion of WP power while it lasted. |

SCRF 6415 |
| Description: |
Soaking up the October sun (and blending in with the sky) in Floyd, South Carolina, is South Carolina Central GP40-2 6415. As evidenced by this engines markings, this is a former Grand Trunk Western diesel (GTW 6415), who obtained it from the Detroit Toledo & Ohio (DT&I 415). This engine was owned by RMPX before arriving at the SCRF, and RailAmerica (SCRFs parent company) transferred it to the CF&E in Lima, OH in March 2012. |

CSXT 2275 |
| Description: |
A CSX local heads back to the yard in Terre Haute, Indiana, on July 11th, 2016. Leading the train is CSXT 2275, a road slug that began life as Chesapeake & Ohio GP35 3574. Later renumbered C&O 4414, it became CSXT 4414 when that railroad was created. In the very late 1980s, it was sent to VMV in Paducah, KY, to be rebuilt into a road slug. Slugs do not posssess a diesel prime mover (to produce electricity), and to operate they must be connected to a complete diesel-electric locomotive, called the mother, which provides the needed electrical power to operate the traction motors, and the motor controls. In this case, CSXT 2275 is drawing power from CSXT GP40-2 6442 (originally Baltimore & Ohio 4428). |
