SP/SSW The Generation Gap

Hey all
Lets see your first generation diesel pics.
SP first generation into the 90's.
SP Swift roadrailer. Note that the second unit is SD9 4390, alive, and on a big time mainline freight in 1996.

Great shots!

I presume all of these were taken around 1996?

The SD9 was great on a big freight. Only better if it had been in front. (On my layout, it would have been in front.) :giggle7yc:

 

Thanks for the comment Flash. These shots were taken between 1994 and 96.

 

sure Hemi!

 

I'd post some pics, but can't get them small enough for this board.

 

This was about 24yrs ago in Glendale, Ca of a local hauler.

 

BN, now BNSF SD9 in Denver. UP locomotive facilities.

 

Would think so. Didn't sound like it was running though.
Otherwise, it was idling, and I couldn't hear it, with all
of the other surrounding noise.
Teamed up with 3 UP units as it was, with a Dash 9 moving
the consist at the time.
