Common cars on the SP in the early 1970s.

Interesting how the smaller road's four digit numbered cars ended up commonly in the West also.

These are very nice to see.  It's been a long time since we had cars like this.  And no grafitti.

I knew somebody was going to bring up graffiti.   You're preaching to the choir guys, give it a rest.

Thanks for sharing your photos.

Does anyone know between which years the BUD trailers operated in that paint scheme?  

TIA

"Bud" was Bud Antel of Salinas, Ca. I still have one of their hats from when we switched them.  Other trailers saying was, "Bud....Fresh As Tommrow".
