  1. Wow, and all striped up correctly, the weathered van adds to the photo. I bet they are all online. No Power Control aka Diesel Doctor telling the crew what to shut down.

  2. I hear the whinny of Zebra’s :-) . You bet they are all in unison. The only time units would not be running was when they deadheaded a crew north. The deadheaded crews units would be just idling behind the lead units. With 2 cabs on the tail end. Sending a cabhop was more common than the deadheaded crew scenario. You could guess that there was going to be a good chance of catching a cabhop, as they would send a couple of large trains of empties north. Help would be needed to get them all back home.
    That b unit is a tricky one, rather than starting the pattern with a black stripe. They started with white. Thanks Terry.
