ATSF 5817 and SP 7556
Title:  ATSF 5817 and SP 7556
Description:  ATSF 5817 East rolls through Devore while over at Dike SP 7556 sets in the sliding with a work train. Only a few months prior it appeared all this trackage would part of one big railroad (SPSF) but it was not to be. Soon both units will be heading back to the paint booth for a coat of their road's standard colors.
