Four SP Freights Somewhere along Donner Pass
Author: MartyBernard

Roger Puta was up by Donner Lake during this day in August 1980.  Could you tell me where for each?

1. SP 8925

2. SP 9274

3. SP 9361

4. SP 9391

Thanks,
Marty Bernard

1. EB on #2 near Applegate- Tunnel 26 in background.

2&3. Not sure... there are a couple possibilities. My first guess is EB on #1 approaching Colfax, but I'm not sure if his vantage point is right for that to work- and EB's are kinda rare where I'm guessing.

4. WB on #1 approaching Colfax, about to pass under Hwy 174 bridge.
SR

I think #3 is eastbound. Train symbol for #1 and #3 is RVNPP.

Best regards,

Brad said the other reefer train
http://www.trainorders.com/discussion/read.php?11,4211726,4211974#msg-4211974
was X9361E too.

Think that's a milepost in the upper
left corner of pic 2?

Don't recall seeing SD45s with
a serif "SP" on the nose.

I think #3 is running wrong main eastbound just below Colfax.

Best regards,

In spite of looking like the track configuration west of Colfax, 2 and 3 are down near Bowman. This was discussed, along with 1 (tunnel 26), in a thread a few weeks ago.

As you see in the other MP-140 pic

http://www.trainorders.com/discussion/read.php?11,4234765

the westward track s-curves at the
track separation west of Colfax,
which the RVNPP isn't doing.
