Steam & Excursion > Steam Railroading Was Not Always Exciting As We Can See Here!Date: 12/11/17 03:00 Steam Railroading Was Not Always Exciting As We Can See Here! Author: LoggerHogger There are times in any job that, yes, it is just a job. We can see that sentiment has settled in with the hogger on Southern Pacific #1243.
This engine and her crew are waiting for new instructions in the Los Angeles yards in October, 1947. Guy L. Dunscomb happened by and used the crews moments of inactivity to his advantage when capturing this wonderful view of the engine and the frustration of her crew. Oh well, things should get moving sometime soon. Until then, enjoy your cigarette and a rest. Martin Edited 2 time(s). Last edit at 12/11/17 03:04 by LoggerHogger.

Author: refarkas Sometimes we forget that there were down times where railroaders had to wait for what to do next.
Thanks for reminding us with these photos. Bob Date: 12/11/17 05:53 Re: Steam Railroading Was Not Always Exciting As We Can See Here! Author: Labby Don't know the SP roster of steam engines, but is it possible there was a 1234?

Second 1234 was class S-10 0-6-0 (Baldwin 49161, 7-1918). This one scrapped at Sacramento 3-14-57. Date: 12/11/17 12:40 Re: Steam Railroading Was Not Always Exciting As We Can See Here!
