SP 7486 Westbound at Cameron IL
The SP got trackage rights over the Santa Fe side of things as a concession of the BNSF merger in 1995. Then, the SP would run trains via the BN and the ATSF side thru places like Galesburg. Here, a westbound is powered up as they make track speed thru Cameron, west of Galesburg on the Chilly Sub. The speed lettering units looked really good!
Alittle history with 7486...went off the UP roster in June 1999 and was returned to the CIT Group and is now in the lease fleet as CEFX 9486. Looks like the unit has been working for the Dallas, Garland & Northeastern Railroad for a while now. In 2023, it looks like the unit maybe at the end of the line.
