Southern Pacific Trona Trains - La Mesa Model Railroad Club

After unloading the train returns to Trona with SP GP40-2 2747 in the lead. The 7274 is one of a few units in the SP fleet equipped with Oscitrol warning lights versus the traditional mars lights. More of this engine may be found using this link • Athearn Genesis Oscitr...
