Nostalgia & History > The SP We Loved

Ben's question about where the "U" boats went harkens back when they were
on the SP, 4/73, SD39, U28C, U28C, U36C between Cameron and Monolith on
their way over Tehachapi.

Great photo but where is the 2nd track?

Looks more like old Paris/Acton on the Soledad cyn line to me :-)

Yes, this is definitely on the Saugus Line near the old Paris siding.

SD39, U30C, U30C, U33C. SP never had any U36Cs. Like the photo ;-)

I'm just glad everyone is actually noticing, thought the lack of a 2nd track might
bring at least one comment.

Speaking of U36's, if anyone still has shots of the Seaboard U36 slug set, could you
maybe post a few.
Thanks

I know I've seen photos of them all the up in Willits, just can't seem to find them here.

Tested on the NWP in mid December, 1977

I'm missing a couple boxes of slides including the test slug set shots, came up in
conversation the other day concerning the NWP tests.

Yes.. the location is between Ravenna and Paris...
