Date: 09/07/19 22:11 Re: Sou.Pac. Cab Forwards Author: MojaveBill Probably because they got so dirty the lettering didn't show upand it saved having to clean them.
The engines were designed for tunnels. I don't recall ever seeing one with tender lettering and I saw lots of them! Bill Deaver Tehachapi, CA Date: 09/07/19 23:15 Re: Sou.Pac. Cab Forwards Author: BCHellman Earlk Wrote:

You would be more likely to see the name on tenders assigned to the Western, Los Angeles, Tucson and Rio Grande Division since these Divisions lacked extensive tunnels and snow sheds. Some assigned to tunnel and snowshed districts may have had the lettering applied, but after a number of trips was obscured by soot. Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 09/07/19 23:17 by BCHellman. |
