Nostalgia & History > The "Cascade" at Oakland 16th St Station late 1960'sDate: 05/26/15 18:53 The "Cascade" at Oakland 16th St Station late 1960's Author: photobob The "Cascade" is boarding passengers and is about to begin its overnight journey to Portland.

>YES-- SP used a LOT of them. Oakland Pier had tons of them. All air operated, as were the tall semaphores to the left of the locomotive.

I used to park to the left where the carryalls are to watch the trains depart at 16th Street. Lots of PA's and F-units, then SDP45's, and finally Amtrak. The 3204 was one of my two favorite of SP's SDP's. Thanks again for sharing... 16th Street was a great place to watch the SP!
