Sacramento Northern Fan Trip Yuba City June 1962
Author: photobob

SN Interurban Car 1005 and box cab 653 at Yuba City in June 1962. Whatever railroad club sponsored the trip offered a bus ride from San Francisco to Yuba City for a couple of bucks if you didn't want to ride the 1005. I remember I cashed in some  7UP bottles at the corner store and off I went to a hot Yuba City to chase the 1005 by hitching rides with other cheapo railfans.

Great!  Interesting use of the headlight to tie down the trolley pole.  Gerry

The hook was holding down the pole, but there was no retriever for the rope.
Looks like the brakemans solution was to wrap it around the headlight so it wouldn't get in the way.
That's what you call thinking on your feet!

A really nic photo Bob -- working in two different subjects.  Good depth of field.
