Unpatched SP AC4400CW
Title:  Unpatched SP AC4400CW
Description:  14 years after the UP-SP merger, it's hard to believe, a SP AC4400CW is unpatched, it was a nice surprise, especially sending photos of it to my Grandpa B., a long time SP fan. A UP AC4400CW and two SD40 - 2s join it at East Minneapolis Yard
