Once the kings of the High Iron.
Title:  Once the kings of the High Iron.
Description:  All the units in this picture have fallen from their former glory, the Kings of the high iron. Back in the 50s, SD9s ruled the rails, followed by EMD Geeps, and then in the 70s, the SD40 line. Now examples from each are now here, either retired or getting close to it.
