RE: (erielack) SP SDP45 report (ex-EL unit!)

As Gary Kazin pointed out, yes it is great to see an SDP45 (from the 363? to
366? series) still around in Y2k, but especially great to see it on the
point leading 2 UP modern widecabs!

Regards,

Chris

I received this on the RAILROAD list a few days ago.

baretable train yesterday (Sun 1/2/00) in Berkeley (CA) at about 2pm.  The
SDP45 was on the point, leading 2 UP widecabs.  As one who remembers these
on
the Peninsula commutes (and on the Daylight before that), it was good to see
one still operating!  Anyone know how many are left?
