  3. A real SD45

    A real SD45

    Passing through Cheney, WA, last week, we hoped we could locate this SD45. Not only did we find it, but it was parked in a clear spot (shot was taken from a "public" parking lot) and in beautiful light.

    Coast Starlight - 1985

    An SP SD45R leads the southbound Coast Starlight into San Jose, CA, back in June 1985. I was 15, school was out, I lived a mile from the SP San Jose Roundhouse, and I had my first 35mm camera. Too bad I wasn't shooting slides back then. All-manual Canon "FT" (fitting for a railfan!)...

    SD19-1 #652

    MRL SD19-1 #652, 1 of 2 SD19-1's that MRL has, sits at Livingston along with some MRL GP9's & an SD45. Although #651 & #652 are classified as SD19-1's by MRL, the two look totaly different, while #652 (shown here) may look more like an SD38, #651 looks alot more like an SD7/SD9.
