SMOKING IT UP AT IRONTON UTAH SEPTEMBER 13 1997  Contributor's Pick!       
Chicago & NorthWestern SD40-2 No.6931 along with two Southern Pacific GE AC4400CW's and UP C40-8 shove Minntac Empties from Geneva Steel into the former D&RGW east pass at Provo. SP 327 seems to be having problems on this day. However, it makes for a great show of smoke!

Anthony Wood General Funny thing is, at this point, those GE's are 5 years old, while that SD40-2 has 20+ years on it. 5/9/2010 1:10:27 PM

Ron Moraca General THE GE SEEMS TO HAVE HAD A STUCK INJECTOR, QUINN, OR ELSE IT WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN SMOKING LIKE THAT. THAT SAID, BEAUTIFUL SHOT, AND I LOVE THAT THICK BLACK PLUME OF EXHAUST SMOKE!!!!!! 3/18/2011 4:54:41 PM
Ryan Martin General Those GE's were barely TWO years old, not five (SP 327 delivered 09/1995). Bad case of infamous GE turbo lag? 2/18/2015 5:12:09 AM
