Southern Pacific Cab Forward action on the Western Union modular layout.

A slightly different layout this time, as Anson yard was unable to come to the meet, but member Mike Ruby brought his 11th Avenue modules instead. This enabled two SP 1950's reefer trains to be operated each with a cab forward as head end and helper power. this makes for 4 cab forwards on the trains, but a 5th is standing by and can be seen in this video. All cab forwards and reefers are owned by member Brian Moore, and Mike Ruby shot the video. Inspiring stuff! 
UPDATE: Brian has posted another video of the same action on his own web page. It can be found here:  more cab forwards.
