Steam & Excursion > SP's AC's could really move the traffic--4276 shows howDate: 05/18/17 11:47 SP's AC's could really move the traffic--4276 shows how Author: Barstool Its June 1956, and AC12 4276 has crossed Ferry St. in Martinez and is opening up with a WB...Some crews don't dig in until they hit Berrellessa St., but this crew may be close to short time??...The stack talk is loud and this engine is pretty clean when you consider she came from the Portland Division, working the helper pool out of Oakridge...4276 lasted until 1958, another good runner...

Then you get up too much speed going down the other side; finally hit the air way too late; break in two.
