Awesome photo, Jerry! That these monsters were 95'5" long and weighed 270 tons is easy to believe from how massive they were. I was stationed in CA from 68-72 and got to see AND hear them run many times. I could also feel the ground vibrate beneath my feet as it or they ran by me. The memories I have of the DDA40X in its heyday are nice ones.
