Notice the many boxcars in use back then, although a long SP autorack car and a couple of covered hoppers and caboose round out the consist for this day. - Tony J.

Nudge Date: 03/31/06 15:52 Re: Espee whereizit Author: MyfordBrowning My first thought is Hamilton City. Could the boxcars and auto rack be stored excess cars? There were times when the SP had cars stored at various point, such as the out of service part of the Santa Paul Branch.

I'll post a few more shots from that day. The first is the train after departing Grimes and approaching a grade crossing near Graino, CA. - Tony J.

 Date: 03/31/06 19:14 Re: Espee whereizit Author: TonyJ The train passes several of the many rice fields of Colusa County. At one time Colusa County produced more rice per acre than any place on earth. - Tony J.
