Richard Percy is a great guy who lives in Australia who monitors this site. He has assistance from some very knowlegable writers, photographers, and SP "fanantics" who are on the SP newsgroup. Check this site out...lots of great photos and information.

Thanks for the information--I'll check it out. SP being my second favorite railroad (okay, neck and neck tie with Rio Grande for first!).

Wow - could spend forever on that website. WOW!!!

I would venture a guess that no book exists with that thorough of a selection of photographs of existing SP locomotives. Very nice.

The internet is truly a beautiful thing!

I agree this is a great website. I have used for quite a while now it to find info on diesel and steam locomotives, cabooses, lots of stuff, and it's just entertaining too! Great photos.
