High noon at Hotlum
Far above the Shasta Valley, a westbound lumber drag rolls through Hotlum in July 1988. I wish I had better understood back then why savvy railfans spend summer hours between 11 am and 4 pm taking siestas in their cars, parked in the shade.

SBD0138
If I recall correctly, CSX's SD50s went through an upgrade program at just about the time they came up with the YN2 paint scheme. This resulted in almost the entire roster of SD50's being repainted in a relatively short period of time. In hindsight, I must admit that three of them looked pretty spiffy lifting a southbound unit coal train across Hickory Creek, south of Morley, TN on May 11, 1992.
