Welcome to

The early part of January brought a few interesting visitors to the Seattle area, not on the BNSF but on the UP!  And both were related to the Southern Pacific. 

First was SP AC4400CW 107 at Argo on 1-6-10

It has been quite sometime since I’ve seen an unpatched SP unit around here!

Then yesterday 1-14-10 I noticed UP SD70ACe 1996 at Argo in the morning.  The 1996 is one of the “Heritage” fleet locomotives and is painted up for Southern Pacific.

Even on a cloudy day the brightly painted EMD looked really sharp!  This was also the first time I had seen one of UP’s heritage fleet locomotives so I was quite pleased.  Both the SP 107 and UP 1996 came up to Seattle on the BNSF’s Seattle Sub and went back south to Portland on the same Sub.
