Here it is when it was still SP with the San Joaquin Daylight at Tracy, April 1971  Date: 04/03/06 09:32 6461 in black widow Author: photobob Those are nice shots Drew. It almost brings a tear to your eye when you see what we have today. Heres 6461 in the Black Widow scheme in the early 60's. This is the Shasta Daylight at the east switch of Obrien. The sunset shield is missing from this unit.

Great stuff! My first trip on a train was behind FP7s from this Fun train/San Joaquin group o' units.

Interesting to see the different ways those FP-7s were painted Date: 04/03/06 12:59 Re: Amt 123 in SP paint Author: drew1946 Some were later renumbered again, first into the 300's then 400's. Two units survived in service as late as 1979 to provide steam for the fun train.
