Westbound Espee |
| Description: |
Southern Pacific SD45R 7405 was on a westbound SP train leaving AVONDALE YARD at 3:00 PM with the 7404 and 7409. These low-numbered rebuilt SD45's were typically used on the run-through trains to and from the Southern and then the NS, as they were maintained to a higher standard than most SP units. The tracks on the left belonged to the Union Pacific. |
