Dick,
Great images - thanks for sharing. Certainly looks a little more civalised than the Ogden trip. Still needs more load than a few hoppers though. It is going to be interesting to see the CA trip later this year. Maybe it will get to work a little over Cajon. A pity they cant MU the dismal from the rear of the consist as the Brits do, but then again I guess then are not interested in aesthetics.
Well done to them - I for one never thought they would hit the deadline in getting it done...
(dont like the graffiti on teh smokebox either - for the first trip, ok, not ongoing)
