Every time I'm disappointed by how dirty units like 8063 have gotten in their barely two years since rebuilding, I have to look at unrebuilt Golden Beaver units like 9764 (199's DPU, previous photo in the album) for a reminder of how bad things could be! |

CP 7018 straight into the morning sun |
Description: |
The third of the group of ten "Heritage"-paint ACUs I've caught leading. It has the "block" lettering instead of the "Script" found on the other two, but it can't really be seen because the long hood is in such shadow. They made a pick-up at the yard and departed eastward in about 90 minutes, but I had to break off and go back to work. |
