Back to the Past-----SP Steam
Author: Barstool

Its the summer of 1953 and train 51 and 52 are being shared with GS's and MTs....Today, MT 4339 is the power on train 51 as she gets ready to depart Martinez in the late afternoon...Passengers going north to Portland and beyond will transfer to train #12 which will be rolling in any minute.

51 and 52 used a lot of MTs during that era, double-heading from LA to Bakersfield. Watching 51 head up the Hill from the Mojave depot in the morning was a sight (and sound!)to behold...

Great Photos!..and BTW ME TV has been showing The old Superman Series, I think the B&W intro showed a SP Steam Train "More powerful than a locomotive!"...But the Color intro shows SP Daylight Diesels!
