PNWR 1852 in Millersburg
Shut down for the weekend. Identity crisis? SP colors, old WPRR name and letters on side and under the window, along with the current PNWR listing.
One of the last scarlet and gray first generation EMDs at Albany. For most towns, finding two might be heaven for some SP fans, but with both LLW units repainted (one in PNWR orange, another into full SP black widdow, yes beautiful, but also seemingly disappeared off the map entierly as well) and the AERC 3859 repainted, two is nothing compared to what couldve been seen only a few years ago. There was also light snow falling, whicT is visable if you look for it.

PNWR 1852, still in its former owners paint, works a southbound on Front Street along with two newer cousins.

More than 50 years after it was built PNWR 1852 is still working. Here it is crossing a short trestle just south of Minto Siding. The road leads to the south side of Minto Brown Park.
This could very well be Southern California in the 1980's (but it's not)
Thanks to small industries, I was able to get access to incredible shots without trespassing on railroad property.
