Two sets of helper power meet at the east end of CP Alliance on a cold but sunny February 1985 day. The 7949 would be one of the 100 leased GP38-2's that EMD called back after their 15 year lease was up. Many then went to work out on the Union Pacific from '87 to '89, this one as UPL 749. That nice PRR signal bridge has since been replaced.

Westbound SPSE rounds the big horseshoe curve between MP 128 and MP 129 on Oct. 18, 1982. This location, about halfway around the curve at mile 128.5, is known as the "art colony", in reference to the ruins of a rather modernistic house and grounds in the woods to the north of the railroad. I've heard several stories regarding the place, but space here doesn't allow, and I'm not sure of the veracity of them.
