SP/SSW B30-7
Jim Willet
Here we see two B30-7's coupled together, both Speed Lettered, but both different detail wise. #7774 closest to the camera, was the first B30-7 delivered to Cotton Belt in 1980. The other, #7801 was the second B30-7 delivered Southern Pacific in 1978. Had this been #7800, this would have been an exceptional photograph, showing both class leaders together, however #7800 was wrecked in 1983 at Tyler TX.
