Tras seguir "atrapado" en Valencia un dÃa más, habÃa que verle el lado bueno a la situación. Aún no tenÃa ninguna Traxx fotografiada en condiciones en España, asà que la mañana del martes decidà acercarme a Benetússer a ver si cambiaba mi suerte, pero no la hubo, ya que el chatarrero Constantà - Silla habÃa pasado con más de una hora de adelanto. Aún asà no estaba todo perdido, pues también me faltaba fotografiar a una Euro4000 de COMSA tirando de un mercancÃas, que también tiene delito no haberlo hecho cuando circulaban con el chatarrero. En esta ocasión no serÃa con el citado tren, si no con el nuevo? papelero Silla - El Espartal que sale los martes por la mañana de la localidad valenciana.
El papelero pasó un poco antes de la hora prevista a cargo de la primera locomotora de la serie 335, lo que nos benefició para hacerle una foto más o menos en condiciones, ya que si hubiese pasado un poco más tarde el frontal de la locomotora estarÃa completamente negro. La pena también fue la neblina que a primeras horas hay en la zona, supongo que debido a la proximidad de L'Albufera, y que deja el cielo con ese color blanquecino.
P.D. Ojalá les vaya bien este tráfico...y lo metan por la lÃnea de Teruel para no dar la vuelta por Tarragona.

Photo shot by my Dad, Jay Thomson, at Copperhill, TN August 1971
Cities Service Company bought Tennessee Copper in the 1960s and all of Tennessee Copper's ALCo switchers were relettered for CSC. CSC is, incidentally, the same company that, in 1965, began selling gasoline under the CITGO brand. This was, of course, before CITGO became a subsidiary of Petróleos de Venezuela S.A., the Venezuelan state-owned petroleum company.
In August 1971 Dad shot CSC SW1500 with a loaded ore train in Copperhill, TN. Notice the barren, desert-like landscape of the Copper Basin of southeast Tennessee, completely denuded of foliage by decades of poor mining practices. The Basin is in the process of trying to reclaim and save the damaged land. Oddly enough, a 40-acre plot of the Mars-like terrain has been set aside to be preserved as it is.

From the back of the card:
"Southern Pacific #4002 is a rare Alco RS-32 (DL-721), built in 1962, and one of only ten such units in the west. Shown at Millbrae, California, the unit was #7302 prior to Espee's renumbering. New York Central's twenty-five of these 2,000 h.p. units were the only other examples of this model that Alco built.

Four Southern Pacific C628s on lease to the Louisville & Nashville pulling a southbound L&N unit coal train. The train is crossing bridge #72 near Ilford, TN. Dad tells me that this bridge has a reputation as a bad luck bridge among both train crews and bridge crews as four different derailments have happened on it, including one in which a derailed car was dragged across the entire length of the bridge.
