A Geep and a Burlington Northern unit. 1988 saw a TON of leased power moving through Shreveport - eventually I will put up an album of it. |

SP 3349 |
Description: |
Even as a kid I loved these rusty battered old Geeps. The rusty cab roof, the battered paint job, the from-another-era look of the vents and high hood, and those classic SP jam-packed headlight bundles - I always snapped a shot when I saw one, even if -- like here -- it turned out pretty bad. |

SP 3379 |
Description: |
A high-nose Geep flies past on the Rabbit Line, south Shreveport at Baird Road. Not my favorite spot, but it was the one I could get to on my bike when I heard a train horn in the distance. |

Homely. Rusty. Perfect. |
Description: |
SP 3877 a perfectly lovely speciment - old, rusty, a little awkwardly designed.... just the thing to delight a rail fan. |
