Tom Beckett General Cool for a roster shot. There were not a lot of SD 18's built-I think CNW had a sizeable fleet-so good to see one still extant at this late date. I like the blue trucks. Home page 10-13-2020 10/13/2020 5:36:47 AM
Rev. Jonathan Spurlock General I only saw one of these in action once, lead unit on an eastbound freight near Huntington, WV many years ago. That unit was quite a contrast to the legions of SD-35's 40's, and 40-2's flooding the fleet in those days. Thanks for taking and sharing this picture with us. 6/5/2022 4:33:49 PM
