| On a dreary winter's afternoon, eastbound Espee train 242 -- with SD40 8440 and Southern Railway SD35's 3098 and 3051 -- was waiting in the siding at Cade, 131 miles west of Algiers, Louisiana; as the westbound SUNSET sped by with SDP40F's 572 and 527 and ten cars. The SUNSET's next stop would be Lafayette, 12 miles ahead. |
