Remarks & Notes 
I shot a lot of SP trains around Galesburg in the mid-90s. One thing I didn't get leading was these Colt Belt Dash 8s. Here, a pair of them lead a westbound SP train over the ATSF Chili Sub towards Fort Madison. I have to laugh thinking back. I am sure the boys were probably using all the fuel they could find to go fast....oh, how those days have changed!!! Scanned slide from 1996.

Railroading in the 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, basically anything but the 2000s.
