Nostalgia & History > SP 1970, Inbound & Outbound Santa Clara AreaDate: 10/25/16 20:32 SP 1970, Inbound & Outbound Santa Clara Area Author: FiveChime Inbound with three LA Division GP35s. Notice the florescent lettering on the middle unit.
Common lettering applied to SP locomotives during that time period. Wish we could duplicate it in HO. Photographer unknown.
