QUOTE: Originally posted by tennor1 Southern Pacific. I grew up in Reno in the 40's and 50's, lived 1 1/2 blocks from the main line, remember cab forwards galore. Also remember the first "Black Widow" diesel that came through town, never thought it spelled the end of my favorite locomotive, the cab forward. Sad ending to a great railroad when the name died.
