Southern Pacific\'s LABRF has just been advised that the track ahead is blocked by a train that suffered a UDE. The crew is heading for the Mount Hebron Store to grab a snack.
Now that most of MRL's older SD45's, the "flares", have been retired,
It is nice to see one still alive and earning its keep.
NIWX 375 works for the Eastern Washington Gateway Railroad and
is seen on the Geiger Spur on 7/28/2011.
This unit was ordered by the Pennsy in 1968...
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.
A rainy sunset on 2/12/2010 catches all 4 of EWG's locomotives on the head end of an eastbound grain train. These veterans were all built between 1953 and 1971

2 locos w/ flared radiators, an MRL SD70ACe & an MRL SD45 sit at Laurel yard. The SD45 apears kinda shiney, making it look like it might have gotten washed recently. Most of MRL's SD45's that I see are usualy covered with a nice layer of dirt, soot, ect...
