EricSP,

I've been keeping an eye out, just as soon as I see one I'll post it on this thread.

I didn't catch the numbers but on saturday in W. Palm Springs I saw 3 SP SD40M-2s (SD45 bodies) heading for W. Colton. Only the numbers on the cab were patched. I also saw another SD40M-2 in a westbound stack train with 4 UP units.[8D]

Considering these 3 railroad companies went out of service, they'll probably be spotted with UP or a leased company or something like that. Also, considering I live in Ohio, I don't see SP to often. DRGW is spotted alot with Wheeling & Lake Erie here in Ohio. SSW (Cotton Belt) locos are no more as they are spotted in HLCX's fleet. Sorry.

SPRR at Gibbon NE live in person. On the Rochelle webcam nearly every day. At Ogden UT in May 2005 also on my web site. Probably next month again when I visit Nevada, California & Utah [:o)][:p][:D]

I saw you had no replies for this so I decided to reply. Nope I live up in the North East. None of those railroads around here. But if you see any CP Rail loco's, tell me, that's my hometown RR.

P.S. Can you reply to my latest forum, since nobody has. Thanks!
