For those of you who run the Feather River Canyon on occasion. WP was noted for it's odd configuration of head-end power. Here WP 913 leads a consist across the Keddie Wye.

Reminds me of the Southern. Depending on the area, they would put ANYTHING in a lashup. I love to see pics like that.

The Rock Island did one better, they put everything that still worked into a lashup!!

I've a good memory for whatever I can remember!
If you wait for perfection you will never do anything but it doesn’t stop you wanting it.
Age doesn’t stop you, it just slows you down.
If you only learn one thing in life - learn to think how your actions and words affect others BEFORE doing or saying.
