As a sidenote to Drew's post:
1. GREAT shot, Drew !!
2. GREAT trip, too... Four SP Geeps-- twenty-two (22) cars...
April 4, 1971 ""Rio Vista Junction Limited"
Oakland to Sacramento via Mococo Line..
Sacto to Cannon via SP on Cal-P...
Cannon to Dozier and Rio Vista Junction via "Sacramento Northern" ...
Of the many DVD's I have produced over the last five years, this entire trip, including Pickering Shay # 11 operation and more, is included in:
"Sacramento Northern Excursions" (1967--1973) ...
Pickering Shay # 11 (at the time) was owned by TOM IRION and pulled two wood cabooses
for hauling passengers at RVJ.
Cheers.
