    I followed the local south of Main St (east end) between Grant and V.I.P. Blvd. Normally a pair of GP40-2′s are handling this turn, but today we had a Ex SSW 7272 in Borg Yellow and a GP38-2, ex Conrail 7735, now GMTX 2861. I really wish that they were still in original paint [​IMG]

    As the local passed, I really could not believe my own eyes, there it was, a Southern Pacific C-50-9, the last class of new Southern Pacific Cabeese built in 1980. This caboose is showing her age, and the numbers are long gone, but still, there she is, a real caboose, here in Casa Grande

    I took some photos of 2861 when it was in Mesa a few months back. I was wondering where it went.
