2: Kodachrome SP 8346 takes the point as it leads a general
freight heading west towards Sparks, Nevada.
Gary Christensen started with an Athearn locomotive and fine-
tuned it with snowplows, antenna, and see through radiator intake
grills. Gary took the photo on a diorama he built to photograph his
completed models. The model has the look and feel of an SP loco-
motive that has seen very little attention to its exterior apperance,
which was typical of the SP in its latter years.
