Nostalgia & History > SP8875 west at Shed 10 mid-1960'sDate: 11/24/15 18:34 SP8875 west at Shed 10 mid-1960's Author: photobob SP8875 leads a westbound out of Shed 10 in the mid-1960's. I Had just gotten out of the Army and I wanted to get some photos of the new SD45's which came to the SP while I was away. It was kind of sad to see my beloved F units playing second fiddle to the new guy on the block.

Thanks for sharing, ~Ryan Date: 11/24/15 20:09 Re: SP8875 west at Shed 10 mid-1960's Author: rob_l Nice. The reefers come home.
Best regards, Rob L. Date: 11/24/15 21:46 Re: SP8875 west at Shed 10 mid-1960's Author: DynamicBrake Nice composition Bob. I like how you framed the fir tree, which really adds to the shot. Any idea what that wooden substructure might have been for? A speeder setout perhaps?

Here we are giving a thumbs up to a new SD70 at Dunsmuir. It was his photography that inspired me to try and take better photos. His talent as a photographer was second to none. A great person who has left a lasting photographic record of what once was and will never be again.

You, Photobob, are fortunate indeed to learn at the foot of the master himself......and it shows too. Keep up the good work.
