ex Family Lines SD40-2

The Family Lines operated as a marketing group of numerous small to medium railroads between 1972 and 1982 before it became the Family Lines System and later merged into CSX.  This SD40-2, captured at the Southern Pacific engine facility in Brooklyn Yard, Portland, Ore. was under control of National Railroad Equipment in July 1993 when it was photographed.  Basically, the Family Lines were all located in the deep south, making this paint scheme extremely rare in the Pacific Nortwest.
