THE LOCAL

SD40 3163 pulls into Hillsdale yard with a short freight. This view shows the white-painted snowplow, an early attempt to increase visibility at grade crossings.
This shot shows the Operation Lifesaver graphics applied to this unit- the only SD40 so marked.
This going away shot shows the first two boxcars in the train. The first car is a 'newsprint' car, so named because it was designed to carry rolls of newsprint paper. Now the Daily Examiner can keep printing the news!

With a M.O.W. utility truck parked in the foreground, 3163 heads out on another local run.


With another string of boxcars in tow, 3163 heads for the industrial park in Dale City.
