Wow!!:
Very seldom did Don Dover's "Extra 2200 South" locomotive newsletter include trip reports;
however this rare report appeared in Issue #6, 1968. An excerpted and modified version is
used here with permission of the author's son Greg Custer. Photographs (such as the one above)
were not part of the original X2200 South article; none-the-less, many of the actual trip
slides from the collections of Greg Custer and R. Craig have been added in support of Denny's
fast-paced narrative. Take a look!
More Fawell Art: In recent months, Greg
Palumbo has sent us nearly twenty images of different Tom Fawell artworks depicting EMD
locomotives in a work environment; the opportunity to share the unique illustrations with
others is greatly appreciated. A few of the pieces appeared last month; his graphic portrayal
of new four-axle EMD models are slated for next month. In the meantime, you are invited to view
his dynamic depiction of six-axle EMDs this month.
U.S.A. 250th Anniversary Locomotives:
The current number of locomotives painted to celebrate the country's Semiquincentennial now
stands at a dozen with additional units already planned. We'll try to document each new
Semi-quincentennial participating railroad / corporation
as they are introduced.
