Western Railroad Discussion > Since nothing else happens in the Bay Area...Date: 11/15/12 15:11 Since nothing else happens in the Bay Area... Author: SCUfoamer Last Friday Union Pacific send down the two Spirit of Washington F units from Stockton to Wastsonville. Since us south bay rail fans have it rough, This was something of a very serious exciting event. I keep an eye out online about its location and finally got them on my way to work (got there 15 minutes late), but it was all worth it
