Viewing Album:  Chasing the PNWR "Westside Hauler" 2007-10-16
 
By:Charles Bonville
Dates:10/16/2007 - 10/16/2007
Album Info:The "Westside Hauler" is a fictional name that I conceived for this unusual train. The PNWR Westsider had power problems and so the PNWR Toledo Hauler power came to the rescue. The resulting train is still technically the Westsider, but I like 'Westside Hauler" as a description of this unusual event.
