Southern Pacific C630 3150 is in West Colton, CA on December 29, 1973.

Reportedly (sources), according to Strapac's great SP Compendium series, SP 3150 was built in April 1966 as SP 7810, SP Class AF630-1, construction number 3439-11. It was downgraded to switcher status, becoming SP 3150, SP Class AS630-1, in June 1973. It was retired in Dec. 1982 and eventually scrapped.
