Pictured here are a Southern Pacific diesel locomotive (gray and red) and an un-painted GE 70-tonner (gray). Accompanying these two locos are a pair of oil tank cars, a gondola, and two Southern Pacific boxcars.
From front to back on the right side of the picture: A Mikado (2-8-2) steam locomotive (that will need renumbered to No. 21, Hancock's "favorite"), a GP9 "low-nose" (that will need only the SMV yellow markings added), and a GE 70-tonner (that will need re-marked). The rolling stock includes: three organgey boxcars marked Pacific Fruit Express, a Southern Pacific caboose, a black gondola, and a yellow boxcar.
Meanwhile, back at the sugar mill, two more GE-70-tonners are stationed here on the highline, one with a consist of two Southern Pacific gondolas (sugar beet cars without the extensions). And, of course, what AASRR or SMVRR picture set would be complete without a SMVRR yellow caboose! The front end of the Mikado can be seen in the background on the left. When the scenery barrier is erected between the two halves of the platform, you will not be able to see the yard (where the Mikado is sitting) from this vantage point.Previous  Next[Home] [Synopsis] [Train Layout (HO)] [Schedule: 2002, 2003] [For Teachers] [What's New] [Site Overview] |
