switching the line's only customer



storyThe West Isle Line runs 5.25 miles from a connection with the BNSF to Alpaugh. The track is an ex-Santa Fe branch line that was acquired from BNSF in 1998 by Western Farm Service (now Nutrien, and the only customer on the railroad) to make sure rail service would not be abandoned. The GP9 was built for Southern Pacific in February, 1956.
Great photo 🙂
@espee4823 Thanks. With a moniker like espee4823 I can see why you'd like a picture of an ex Espee engine. 😀 How did someone from Down Under choose espee4823?
