Dirty Thoughts?

I remember the threads of 10 and 12 years ago on REC.Railroads and the Compuserve Railroad forums about UP vs. SP on the dirt question. The UP crowd was always poking fun at the SP fans about the dirty locos. Because I live on the former SP section of the "Overland Route" just west of Reno, NV I witnessed the gradual changes as this line became apart of the Union Pacific. <br /> <br />One of the first things that I noticed was that as the Armour yellow units started taking over they began to gather dirt, some that ping ponged back and forth on this line between Roseville and North Platt got real dirty. So, I think its not a question of UP picking up SP's washing practices as UP running SP's territory. Anyway, this is just my subjective observation.[:D] <br /> <br />Jim
