Out of Keddie, just leaving Crescent Mills on a wet Fall afternoon in 1970, a mixed freight powered by ex SP&S Alcos grinds the miles up towards Almanor and Bieber.....

Thank you for the appreciation guys - sorry it has taken me so long to get back (don't drop by here as much as I should :lol2: ).

The set is payware from Gaetan Belanger and there are some excellent shots taken by Tim Muir over here :D

Those are really nice photos. The BNSF is using that track quite heavily should you want to change out the engines.

Thanks on the photos Bob - quite happy with SP&S :oldstry:.

Here's some SP&S Alcos near Almanor, just up the line a bit

I'm with you too, Rod. :pardon: I appreciated the two photos of the ex-SP&S ALCOs. I remember seeing those very engines at the 10th St roundhouse in Portland and the Vancouver Shops, but never saw any actually running. Looks like an ex-NP SD-45 behind the C-636.

Hello guys. I liked the shots and I have that route. The route is done in excellent detail and the trains look good too. Keep up the good work.
