PTPCX needs some help from the BKDOU
Author: bakersfielddave

PTPCX at Bealville  of  May 9,1995

units 6836-7378-8523-8012-4421-4389

the SD9's were being hauled dead... possibly a last journey before retirement.. ?

at Walong th BKDOU had to release one of the mid train helpers and place it on to the front of the PTPCX,

    and Larry SPLoopconductor, do you know these guys?

Sooo entertaining!    Glad you were there to catpure on film.   There is no doubt the best times on the Hill were right then and there.

Probably one of many reasons why the PCX service was gone a year or so later...SP lost interest in keeping the trains running on schedule and then the UP came in and couldn't care less. Kind of sounds like the Swift roadrailers as well. Hmmm...I'm detecting a common theme here.

​Loved the video and wish it had lasted a little longer. Those were certainly the "good old days" on the hill.

Great video. One of the brakeman looks like Dominic Fravola and maybe the other is Walt Carter . Not sure who the hogger is. It would take about 3 hours to do this under the new rules . Thanks for posting.
