Five tunnel motors running uphill |
| Description: |
A quintet of SP tunnel motors, the first one wearing the abortive SPSF "Kodachrome" scheme, fight the laws of gravity yet again as they pull their train uphill amidst impressive rock work on Cajon Pass in April 1989. |

| Title: |
No Coal today, thanks! |
| Description: |
Five units bring an eastbound SP freight through the legs of a long-retired coal tower at Deming NM in the summer of 1983. SD40T-2 8525 is followed by a trio of B30-7s and a single GP40-2. The tower dates from the mid-1920s when SP acquired the El Paso & Southwestern RR, whose steam power burned coal instead of oil, five towers being built between El Paso and Tucson on the SP "north" main to service the 'new' power. They all came down by 1998. |

| Title: |
Hallelulah and eight units |
| Description: |
A northbound SP train passes through Beeville enroute Houston in August 1972. This is serious flatland railroad territory, so anything more than three units can be considered unusual; seven big six axle motors is very odd and the Conrail U25B (2675) only makes this movement all the more notable. |
