Bummer, I was hoping the 3rd would have the 3119 again - Boy Scout oath: Always be prepared (even when the Redhead has a dentist appointment).


TCS - ooh, new signal bases

[MrMRL]

Yep, the 3119 has returned home to Hobart Yard for the time being. Personally, I hope it sticks around. I'd like to somehow get it paired up with the BNSF 1827 (ex. BN whiteface SD40-2), for a unique BN/BNSF Whiteface RC set.

So why were the cabbies tied down, fare sniping again?

[TC Smith]

1827 and 140 went east through FUL on a baretable around 9:30 sunday night.


TCS - 140 leading, so nice to hear non-GE power in run 8

The La Mirada jobs run Sunday night through Friday afternoon. No jobs on duty on Saturdays (except for an occasional extra called to switch out a large BARLAC setout), so all the equipment is essentially tied down for the day.

Well, so much for that plan... part of my day's work today was to transfer the 3119 from Hobart to the LAJ to be added to tonight's M-LACBAR. Oh well...

No sign of the GP40X today. Was all 60M power next to the yard office.
