TERRENCE ROBLE General Nice shot!!! 10/30/2017 9:18:46 PM
Alan Page General Unfortunately, both my railfan buddy and I spent precious little of our expensive slide film on rolling stock in those days. When I was last at the Curve in March, 1981, track 3 was still there and CR was using SD45's, ex-EL SDP45's, older SD40's, and the newer kids in town, the reliable SD40-2's. 11/5/2017 3:55:41 PM
