First day of summer holidays and on the lookout to catch those somewhat new SD60's in action. Trouble is, it's pouring rain and I'm standing with my coat over my head as the train passes over a bridge right next to the McMurphy rest area.

    This could be, with sunshine, a publicity photo for SD50s. Well done, and sharp.

    Thanks Arnold and Steve. Been thinking about your comments. It’s true, trains back at this time were very much like HO train cars out of the box. The Tyco/Bachman/ModelPower cars looked almost exactly like the RailBox. The rain wet cars really help to complete the effect.
