Remarks & Notes

SP's loaded Shell Oil Train roars up the stiff and curving grade at the west end of Bealville. Note that all power on the head end is EMD tunnel motors. The train weighs in at approximately 10,000 tons, requiring a mid-train helper to make over the mountain.

What California is known for. Fires, droughts, weed, and people waving rainbow flags. Yah. Great place alright. At least the trains are nice.

The EMD SD (special duty) series are a strong and reliable kind of locomotive which still serve America's rails today. They have proved themselves reliable by clocking in several million miles of freight service over several decades.
