Nostalgia & History > from my little yellow boxs- SN 44 tonners

some shots of SN 44 tonners. All are in Sacramento in their final days on the railroad.

Great shots. Just got back last week from N Cal and traced some remains of the SN. Not much left sadly. Please continue with more wonderful photos.

Could one of these still edist? The one on the flat car looks like one I see working or stored at the rail mill just west of BNSF Argt. yard. south of Main 1 near Morris. Too far away to read the number or lettering, but I can see the orange & silver.

There are still a few kicking around. The Feather River Rail Society had one, which I believed they traded to the Western Ry Museum. I seem to remember another unit kicking around the Midwest, maybe in Oklahoma, so that could be the unit you spotted near Argentine.

The 145 is at (of all places) the Champaign-Landmark elevator in West Liberty, Ohio. This picture is from 07.23.05.

I was under the impression that ex-SN 145 was the one that Portola got from the Northwestern Oklahoma Railroad. I photographed that engine working there at Woodward, OK. - Tony J.

Tony: I got the information from the Sacramento Northern On-Line web page.

The 146 is apparently the one preserved at Portola.

146 was at Portola, it went to Rio Vista last summer as part of the trade deal between the WPRM and the WRM. the only 44 tonner at Portola now is the Quincy 3

Thank you for the correction. I'll correct my notes. - Tony J.
