The Diesel Shop at Year-- 30



(A Thomas Seiler photo)

December 1994: It's the first day of the month, and a trio of "Super Fleets" with GE-built ATSF #888 on the point roll a hot westbound trailer train through the very photogenic Abo Canyon at bridge #2 in New Mexico. A track re-alignment project years later made this same shot no longer possible. (photo by Thomas Seiler)

Diesel Shop Cornerstone

This website was created on November 17, 1994. It was envisioned as the "Home to First and Second Generation Locomotives;" a place in cyberspace where the records of yesterdays's and today's locomotives are stored for tomorrow's research. The graphic banner above was a part of the original website, and it is used here as a simple reminder of those early days -- 30 years ago!
