John Mallory General Great Image! I must admit I question the December 1985 date. For one, there are a number of freight cars around the east end of the shop complex. If this was late 1985, then the Trustee should have completed his enormous task in getting all the ex-RI rolling stock sold off. Secondly, the train is arriving from Oklahoma City (most likely) and has North Central Oklahoma RS36 2873 in its consist. That is rather odd; maybe it was picked up in Yukon after powering a gravel train out of Richard's Spur. I wonder where RI 830 and 1504 were when this picture was made? In the diesel shop? Out of view behind the paint and/or diesel shop? Switching the yard? Out on the road rounding up additional strays? Even so, I have enjoyed studying this image! 4/17/2013 7:48:58 PM
Matthew Zisi General Nice shot! 7/18/2019 8:57:36 PM
