Western Railroad Discussion > Yesterday's IOANP at Hercules CA with two exSP AC4400sDate: 11/28/21 11:26 Yesterday's IOANP at Hercules CA with two exSP AC4400s Author: AlcoRSD15 Yesterday the IOANP departed Oakland on the UP. Here is the train at Hercules CA at 10:10 am. This is probably the last time that I will see two patched exSP ACs on the same train. - Eric Blasko

It has been recently rebuilt, you can tell by the extra couple of inches on the top of the radiator section. Also it now has 3 dynamic brake grids whereas the SP units were delivered with only two (as on the patched units) - E.B.

JB Date: 11/28/21 13:34 Re: Yesterday's IOANP at Hercules CA with two exSP AC4400s Author: ble692 Perfect light there. The 6222 is ex-SP 175 and is just weeks out of a rebuild at Wabtec. I also see new signals have appeared there at RV021. Any idea how long those have been there? Have any other new signals popped up recently in the vicinity?
