MOP Memories
A busy week at the office means a visit to the slide boxes for today at least. First our time machine takes us back 33 years to the south end of Ray Yard at Denison, TX on 7/13/74 as three “screaming eagle” SD40-2’s lead a southbound freight towards Fort Worth. The sky is not perfect, but where else are you going to find those neat three digit numbers today?
Thirteen years later on 9/17/87 we are trackside near Durant, Oklahoma as the end of a loaded coal train passes by, trailed by a manned caboose instead of a DPU.
Which do you prefer?
