MR Jan 91 --> SP SW 1500 article
Posted by Anonymous on Friday, April 7, 2006 10:23 AM
Can someone who owns this mag look up the article for me.....why?
(cover of mag has CP geep in the snow )

Well, I'm trying to confirm a real life photo that "I think" was part of this article
that showed a SW1500 MUing with a GP9 somewhere in SoCal.

Would be appreciated if someone could even scan the photo.

I'll see when I get home this evening. I just recently purchased about 120 copies ranging from 2002 back to the late '50s, but if you do the numbers, that means about a 20% chance I got this one. Probably a little higher, since I got more in the 80s and 90s, but....

You might send your email address off-list. See my profile. There's even the chance that, even if I didn't get the copy, the LHS which had the pile of back-issues would still have it.

It does. On page 122 at the bottom. SW1500 #2642 leading the GP9E #3767 on the Oxnard switcher on the Santa Paula Branch between Mayo and Piru CA.

Thanks guys.......my memory is not slipping...........

Got out of the hobby "big time" several years ago and gave away my hundreds of MR's. I've just got back in with a purchase of Atlas's N scale MP15DC (it's beautiful in a industrial way) and plan to build a small pike around that one photo in MR...oh so long ago.
