I was a fireman at the CDF Devore station in 1958-61. I can remember UP, Santa Fe and some real rube goldberg lashups. 2 UP Centennials with 130 loads upgrade. UP GP-9 turbo's with a pair of GP-9B's as a helper upgarde. And Santa Fe was still using some steam. Mainly 3850 class 2-10-2's. Thanks for the memories.

I ran that Santa Fe GP30 in the helper set that was freshly painted in the blue and yellow war bonnet back in 2006. It was on NS at the time

Leslie S5T. Popular on UP’s powerful locomotives but almost every single one was fouled.

Wow, Centennials, a DD35A and even the ugly duckling U50Cs! The biggest diesels on the railroad, and all in one video. Nice!
