Shorter consist |
| Description: |
The lite power move is now three units shorter, having dropped off the three dodger units at Watts. CP 9725 now brings up the rear, an appropriate contrast to the leader. |

This is not the 4877 you are looking for |
| Description: |
It was inevitable that, sooner or later, I would come across the 4877. Unfortunately, not the celebrated Tuscan red GG 1-though I did see and ride behind it over 40 years ago-but the KCS ES 44 that is just another GE in the fleet. I was returning from the I 181 chase, and happened upon this northbound M 261 just as I rolled into downtown Gravette. Hes got 57 cars in tow as he rolls into the gathering gloom. In an odd twist,second unit CP 8769 is the second CP 8769 I've seen; the other was an RS 18 at Mechanicville on the D&H in 1984. |
