Western Railroad Discussion > Chasing the Legendary Lompoc Local- Part II of IVDate: 05/13/21 19:20 Chasing the Legendary Lompoc Local- Part II of IV Author: BoilingMan Continued...
Photo 1. This was supposed to be a dramatic pacing action photo- but at 10MPH... well. Photo 2. This poor DRGW caboose has suffered just about every abuse short of burning- but it begs to be worked into a local photo. Photo 3. Green something. (Sorry- I don't know my floras) Photos 4&5. Once in Lompoc, they back into their caboose and are ready to shove up to the mine. Dear god- this thing looks worse than the Grande car!!! At this point I ran into John Roskoski! I used to see John fairly often back in the 70's in Santa Barbara- we did some frantic 40yr catching up and traded contact info as the local slipped away.... Continued Edited 1 time(s).
