On a cold, crisp summer night, I headed down to Martins Creek to find the H71 preforming their switching duties at the Conagra grain mill. After dropping those cars, the power was attached to the loads bound for Portland. From there, the chase was on!

Power: EMD SD70M-2, GE SD40DC, EMD SD60 (what a lashup!)

P.S. Wow, even the night trains give me the ol' Shave And A Haircut! ;)
