Dreary Permanente memory
A long time ago in a land far away…okay not that far away. SP 3408 goes on one of its last runs up the Vasona Branch in January of 1995. Permanente, California has not been the same since. SD70M's and GEVO's take the Permanente Local up the branch these days, but with a shorter train.

Nice shot of the SP GP9E. If I can recall correctly that wasn't one of V's favorite engines to ride on because of the high hood.
