While we are on ALCos, here are a pair of DL500B 'World' locos built in Australia by AE Goodwin originally for the South Australian Railways.

In this view ownership had since passed to Australian National Railways  and are hauling a Melbourne to Adelaide freight under the magnificent signal gantry at Tailem Bend, South Australia behind 935/940 - 12 July 1986.

Our rains have finally subsided and today was a glorious clear and sunny SoCal day so I ran up to Cajon to see the fire and erosion damage first-hand. From just below Blue Cut to the top of the pass, it's pretty depressing and barren, with grasses just starting to poke out but everything else burnt and erosion everywhere showing its ugly head. The area is closed to avoid more man made damage. Not a pretty sight....
