I wonder how long SP used the Baldwins on the branch. They probably straightened out a few curves.

I have several train orders for Baldwins on branch local freights, but I had no idea that they were used on the Suntans! This is marvelous!

Re TonyJ question about how long they were used, I don't know, but one might speculate that they headed the Suntans until one of them caught fire.

Note engineer in second unit. No M.U.? This is a real "double header".

Not being a diesel fan, I AM interested in the little Ford coupe with the shaved trunk.

Must be, I don't see any MU connections on the lead unit.

That little coupe in the foreground of pic 1 looks customized. I don't recall any with tail lights down that low as built in the late '30's, early '40's.
