In the 70s every day saw a parade of Southern Pacific commute trains operate between San Jose and San Francisco. It was party that was going to end in a short time.

Photo One: Southern Pacific commute geep 3000 sits on one of the whiskers at SP's Lenzen Street Roundhouse in San Jose, CA on June 11, 1974.

Photo Two: In September 1972 Southern Pacific train 118 powered by commute GP9 3003 races past a group of trainmasters that are waiting out the weekend in San Jose, CA.

Photo Three: Southern Pacific Trainmaster 3029 on SP Commute Train 128 passing the 4th Street Tower, San Francisco, CA, Date Unknown, about 1974.

It did not seem like the good times would ever end. But, they did.
