It's not for IM because Oakland IM trains work Lathrop and so go Altamont. Date: 10/30/25 13:56 Re: WP 3055 (U30B) in Altamont Pass Author: jimB Nice shot. I must have been standing next to him. The first three units were from a WPE and were helping a westbound Ford Fast over the hill on 2/15/81. U30Bs leading were not common by that time. Here is a second or two later.
