Good point as to the use of those 3 2-8-0's on the Nacozari...I have some slides taken by the late John Hungerford of 3406 late in the game.
As an aside to late SP steam operations, it was long felt that the use of AC 4211 on an eastbound beet train through Niles Canyon on or around (I don't have the slide in front of me, sorry) November 28, 1956 was the last use of SP steam in freight service, but reports by reputable fans keep surfacing as to later movements. Stan Kistler tells me of a 2-6-0 or 4-6-0 being used on a branch on the San Joaquin Division in September of that year. I'm sure that there are others.
