"F-unit Friday.
"Eastbound nearing Davenport, CW Branch, August 14, 1981.
"What could be better? F-units? Windows down? The slap-slap-slap of the tires over the asphalt seams on the old concrete highway."

Brian says:
"I disliked photographing westbounds leaving Wenatchee even in the afternoon as the sun angle was usually a shadowed nose and 7-9-83 was no different for BN's 129 with six units up front, the 6645/7272/6643/6634/6902/6639 (F45/SD40-2/F45/F45/SD40-2/F45) but still, gotta shoot F45's right? At least once out of Wenatchee you knew the sun on the front is going to improve."
