Click Photo To Enlarge

My model of Southern Pacific (SP) 8693 led an HO westbound train out of the tunnel at "Weed" on the California Central Model Railroad Club (CCMRC) in the historic Agnew depot in Santa Clara, CA, on Saturday, January 30, 2016. This is an Athearn Genesis model
The real SP 8693 was an EMD SD40M-2, SP Class EF630LK-2. Reportedly: It was built in 1970, builders number 36884 as an SDP45, EL 3666. It became CR 6697 then VMV 6697. It was rebuilt by MK in 1995 for SP. It became UP 2769 and retired and sold in 2003.
