Southern Pacific C628 3120 faces into the setting sun at Colton, CA. Date not recorded, likely Saturday, November 16, 1974.

Reportedly (sources), according to Strapac's great SP Compendium series, SP 3120 was built as SP 4865, SP Class DF-504, construction number 3401-20 in May 1965. In the 1965 renumbering it became the SP 7124, SP Class AF628-2. In Dec. 1973 it was downgraded to switcher status and became 3120, SP Class AS628-1. It was sold in for scrap in April 1979.

Information, stories, suggestions, comments and/or constructive corrections are appreciated.
