SP Geeps working the Westside Line

I lived in Patterson California from 1987 to 1994. During this period the SP Westside Line (since sold to California Northern) was serviced each weekday by a local called The Westside Hauler. Typical Power on the Hauler was two GP9's (with an occasional GP38-2.)

Photo 1: SP Geeps 2873 and 3779 switch Patterson Frozen Foods in Patterson, CA. The Westside Hauler is headed railroad east on the then SP Westside Line on May 12, 1989.

Photo 2: SP Kodachrome Geep 3778 on the westside hauler switching cars at Westley, CA in January 1991.

Photo 3. SP GP9R 3851, ex-TNO 456, re# 3660, re#3859 is switching Patterson Frozen Foods in Patterson, CA on the Westside line on March 20, 1989.
