Well, the Second Trick job (it would've had a 470-series number, but I don't remember which one) worked out of East Oakland yard and primarily serviced SP customers in Alameda, going all the way to the end of track within NAS Alameda in far West Alameda when necessary. (There was also a West Alameda job on First Trick that had a 460-series number.) It handled some of the ABL interchange traffic, but I don't remember any of it being Santa Fe overhead cars. The regular foreman on it from the time I arrived in Oakland in April 1972 until it was abolished was Harry Glover. (As trivia, this was the job that had the HOC with the ABL job on the curve between Clement and Grand streets.)
In hindsight, I should've mentioned in my post about the "Super Chief" that the majority of the Santa Fe overhead cars it handled had previously moved via Santa Fe's tug and carfloat operation between Ferry Point in Richmond and Alameda.
