Westbound At Keddie
A Burlington Northern freight is on the west leg of the wye at Keddie on the Western Pacific with an interesting consist of power from two BN predecessor railroads, the Great Northern and Spokane Portland & Seattle with a BN road unit as the rear locomotive. Note that both former Great Northern units are in two different GN schemes and the former SP&S units are 4 axle Alco Centuries. This was taken in either May or June of 1972. The processing date of June 72 is the only date I can go on with this slightly under-exposed Kodachrome.
