My copies were on the front porch last nite when we came back from dinner. I hope that
folks are pleased with this. It likely offers more variety than anything else I've ever seen.
That's its strongpoint. SP started the year 1956 with 13 different wheel arrangements and
all are represented along with 4-10-2 5021 while still active in OR a year or so earlier.
There is even some coverage of an SP ferry, the Berkeley.

Given the slow speed color film of that era, there are a few images that have some motion blur
but it was either include them that way or miss out altogether.
