Hello all, Any details on these derailments? I know that this was not from one accident, but a siding in Springfield Yard where locomotives in need of repair are staged. Thanks and Enjoy, JFM EMD SD45 SLSF 948 EMD SD45 SLSF 948 EMD SD45 SLSF 948 EMD GP35 SLSF 703 and EMD SD45 SLSF 948 EMD GP35 SLSF 703 GE U25B SLSF 811 GE U25B SLSF 811 GE U25B SLSF 811 F-M H-10-44 SLSF 279 F-M H-10-44 SLSF 279 Discovered these while digging through some of my father's old photographs. I remember him taking these photographs. JFM
It amazes me what the shops are able to repair and send back out into service. Would be interesting to know what happened to this group and when. There is an archive photograph of GP35 SLSF 703 wearing Mandarin orange and white with nose strips dated February 1973. Based on weathering, I would guess the paint is 6-12 months old. http://frisco.org/mainline/wp-conte...bruary-3-1972-Conniff-Railroad-Collection.jpg What surprises me is the fact that SLSF 948 retained its L shaped engineer's window and SLSF 811 retained its 1 piece middle window after repairs.
