The first two images show the Special at Pasadena Depot before and after the runaround move at Chapman and the third image shows the Special at Chapman in the middle of the 210.The Special ran up the Pasadena Subdivision from Hobart to Pasadena. Bill Webb

WOW, terrific photos!  I'm guessing you were either working or riding the train for that shot at the Chapman siding (a very rare photo location).  And this would be for New Years '93 or '94 I would assume?

Thanks for sharing these,

Rich

To quote a Trainorders legend, "It's all crap now". But at least there are still rails.

Since it's double track now there's more rails!
