Half and Half
Two Oakway SD60’s on lease to BN and two BN C30-7’s are in run-8 at Larkspur, CO as they drag a loaded coal train up the 1.4% grade of the BN/D&RGW joint line south of Denver.
It’s an interesting power consist in that half of the units are current (for 1989) generation SD60’s, the other two are 1970’s era C30-7’s.
I wish I had been able ho wrap my hand around the throttle of this big boy. I was an Engineer for 15 years before changing careers, never thought I would miss the Railroad so much, but I do.
