Re: Engines Earl ran, places he worked...

The shot of the 489 helping the 19 is...... interesting. I can vaguely remember that. Blea is running 489, I'm on the 19 headed for some work train assignment. I think this is in 1991. 19 is in process of getting its present paint job. It still has the remains of the last paint scheme I put on it showing on the cab. The actual event of the day or in my time books somewhere.

I very much remember the stretch or track heading east out of Wellman, TX. It was undoubtedly the worst piece of RR I ever ran on, even at 5 mph. How we stayed on the rail through that is still amazing to me. The shot does accurately portray the beauties of Scenic West Texas......
