WP and SN from 70s and 80.

I am back from vacation and thought I would share a few more oldies:

Photo One: Back in 1973 Pittsburg, CA was cool and was a great place to go see trains. Best part, it was close to where I lived. So, I would go there often. Sacramento Northern 607 is an NW2 shown here near the steel plant.

Photo Two: One of my early photos (I was 15 when I shot this photo.) Western Pacific 3522 and two WP friends leads an ABBA set of a Union Pacific GP30 two GP9Bs and a GP35 eastbound over Keddie Wye in August 1971.

Photo Three: Western Pacific GP40-2 3554 on the point of the SN Detour is itself detouring. The train is caught heading east, crossing the SP bridge at Mossdale, CA on a date that was not recorded. The Detour detour was probably due to the October 1980 washout on the Santa Fe in the delta near Trull that swallowed a train. Cab 453 is on the rear of this train.
