Red Dirt
Today’s slide from the past takes us to the roughly 300 degree curve on the Santa Fe transcon between Heman and Belva, Oklahoma in September of 1983. An F45 is leading two C30-7’s and an SD45 on a hot westbound intermodal coming around the curve at 60mph or better.
That red Oklahoma dirt looks pretty in a photograph, but once it gets wet it turns into the kind of glue that traps vehicles and pulls off your boots when you try to walk through it.
