Golden Pig Service

Southern Pacific EMD SD45T-2R No. 6826 leads a westbound freight at Wilmot, Arizona, on April 21, 1990. The train is waiting on a new crew—note how the locomotive is “tied down” with a stick in front of the second axle, perhaps in addition to using a handbrake. In the background, a passing intermodal train carries a trailer advertising SP’s famous “Golden Pig Service.”
