Tony Fernandez General Craig, do you know if the GP30 was added as a "Cajon helper" that would be cutoff at Yermo or perhaps Las Vegas? I'm assuming that the DD35A/DD35/GP9B would've been the road power since those models were the heavy power over Cajon Pass and Cima Hill during the early `70s. Really nice shot of a bygone era. 3/20/2012 8:02:42 PM
Tony Fernandez General Just re-read your picture's caption and noted it was a "westbound"; so maybe the GP30 was tacked on at Yermo to add its dynamic braking for the trip down Cajon? 3/20/2012 8:14:26 PM
