Re: Stockton Diamonds for Wednesday
I remember Es and Fs in service.? I didn't know locomotive model numbers until I got a copy of the Diesel Spotter's Guide around 1970 or so.? The first new model of engine I was aware of was the SD45T-2 as Trains had articles and photos about the 1972 EMD -2 improvements to their 1966 models and SP got SD45T-2s to help with cooling in the snowsheds and tunnels on Donner and in the Cascades.? As a kid, I would have seen K-Ms and new EMDs on the SP, but I didn't know what they were called. Seeing SD45T-2s and Amtrak F40PHs in museums takes a little getting used to! I did not see North American steam in regular service, but my trip to India in 1980 allows me to say that I did see a lot of steam in regular service. I also saw regular service steam in Sri Lanka and Italy that year and in 1984 0-8-0Ts at the Alsdorf mine and coking works in Germany.? Now what had been that facility in Alsdorf is a large park.? I checked Google Maps and was shocked to see the facility completely gone.?? Mike Tisdale

¿ªÔÆÌåÓýMike, ? Yes, that makes me feel old.? And for those of us ¡°of a certain age,¡± I remember when EMD introduced the GP35 and E and F cab units were still in service.?
