Nostalgia & History > Santa Fe 3rd District Local remakeDate: 05/08/05 08:22 Santa Fe 3rd District Local remake Author: 3rdswitch I posted this photo a few months ago scanned from a lousy print. I ran across the neg this week and here is a little better rendition of a pair of Santa Fe RSD5's (?) on the 3rd District Local sometime in the mid to late sixties heading into the "hole" at La Mirada, CA.

Avoid the Sharpen feature like the plague. Use the Unsharp Mask feature, and apply it in small increments. You will be able to tell when you have used too much. Cheers, Africansteam Date: 05/11/05 21:58 Re: Santa Fe 3rd District Local remake Author: DNRY122 They are RSD-5's and they were often used on the 2nd District Locals (Pasadena area) in the 60's. Somewhere I have a photo of a pair of RSD-5's crossing the Garvanza (Arroyo Seco) bridge, where now the Gold Line trains run.

They lasted about a week and of that week they spent more time on the ground than on it. Then GP7-9's made it back in a hurry. Andy 2472
