Hi Pacific Northwest Railfans,
I am planning a trip to Portland, the Bay area, and La this summer to see friends and Family. I will have plenty of time to chase trains, and am particularly interested in railroads that still roster older(pre-SW1500) end cab switchers. Three that I know of and am looking for more information on are the Simpson Railroad, the Canfor/Englewood railway, and Richmond Pacific Railway.
Can you guys give me any information on when these railroads generally operate. Do they all still use EMD SW's? Are there some other Railroads that I should know about? They don't have to be particularly close. I am also interested in lines that use other non standard motive power.
Thanks
Frankie
