IN THE YARDS PT25

A pair of EMD SD40 series engines sit in the yard; AP&W SD40 3163 and leased GATX SD40-2 7361.

Both show their age. Note the sooty roof, rust along the dynamic brakes, and fuel stain on the fuel tank.

Note also, that 3163 needs a new air horn!

The roof is nearly black from the exhaust back. Note also the walkway light over the step-up on the walkway; this was added as a safety feature during the 70's.

7361 also has rust around it's dynamic brakes, as well as plenty of dirt on it's trucks.

Note the grime on the nose and sides, as well as the walkways.

While the roof is not as black as 3163's, there is still a fair amount of soot.
