Western Railroad Discussion > Daylight oil cansDate: 10/13/12 22:46 Daylight oil cans Author: walstib The last half dozen times I trekked down from the Bay Area to foam the coast, the fabled oil cans ran at night -- until today.
And I got an ex-SP unit, to boot. Here's the train just south of Seacliff.  Date: 10/13/12 23:00 Re: Daylight oil cans Author: tinytrains Nice shot. Due to passing the SPH&TS meet in Ventura, it was today's most photographed train. I shot it at Leesdale (can't post unitl I get home). The HeadsUpCoast email group was a huge help and very active today.
