TAN; Re: Cow and calf

[nw-mailing-list at nwhs.org]

Closer to home, the RF&P had SW1500's (I'd have to do some research to  know 
how many, maybe someone else knows) with road trucks (Two axle Flexicoils  
rather than Blomberg, I think, but again it's been a long time) bought  
specifically to boost high tonnage southbounds over Franconia hill.

Not so  odd, perhaps.  For example, the SP had a batch of SW1500s with road  
trucks which I've seen occasionally in road freight lash-ups.  At one  time, 
all SP Diesels were being built with the same gear ratios.

. . .The UP at  one point used SW1500 [I think] cow / calf sets as helpers on 
grades in  CA.  Very strange choice.
