SP 7417 |
| Description: |
An SP lumber drag grinds past the west end of Bray siding. The caboose of a work train can be seen at the far end of the siding. Good thing this is a fairly short train, as the third unit, a Cotton Belt GP40, is NOT the equivalent of an SD40 when dragging full tonnage up 20 miles of 1% grade at 15 mph! Date of photo approximate. |
