Title:  SOUTHERN PACIFIC AUTO RACK TRAIN
Description:  By 1995 it was really rare to find a clean Southern Pacific Tunnel Motor in SP's block lettering. This photographer got lucky back in December 1995 to find 8540 on the point of the OANSF at Provo's 820 North Grade Crossing on the old Rio Grande Mainline.
