Power car
Title:  Power car
Description:  To assist with train hotel power, this power car is coupled behind the locomotives. Youd think HEP equipped F40s could handle the power draw of a 9 car train, but see the comment belowfrom Robert Petit.

Classic power
Title:  Classic power
Description:  These units, once a mainstay of the GCRY, now mostly work in the high season. For this early April afternoon, they repose on a siding just south of I 40. I stood on an overpass on the interstate to get the shot. The speed limit here is 75 MPH, so I dont recommend it.

On the tour
Title:  On the tour
Description:  We took a "geezer tour"-bus from Arkansas to LA, then cruise to Hawaii and return. Our dinner stop this day was in Williams, so I was able to grab a shot of this GCRY F 40 as we rolled through town.
