| It is rather unusual to show 50 different photos of the same train (Train 5). I am sure, several viewers may say, it is by far too much. But my intention is to show all the different locos and cars incl. graffity. And on top, a manifest train offers much more variety than a double stack train. For those who do not like the big amount of photos, just scroll down !! | |
| Well, the next train (Train 8) is once again a UP manifest coming downhill on the Palmdale cutoff. Lots of photos on this one - sorry!! | |
