Date: 04/29/06 23:29 Re: Cadillac Commuter Author: dmaffei Ah yes, the good old days.
That plow still has the soot and paint burnt from it's repair. Remember the paint shop at bayshore repainting stuff like that. Brings me back to those great SP days of my youth. Thanks for posting, Dave Date: 04/30/06 06:41 Re: Cadillac Commuter Author: GoldenState Nice photo. Keep 'em coming. It would be nice to see her running again. It does seem that the kids in the adjacent trailer park are slowly applying a new paint job. Note the weld on the plow in your photo is still visible in this photo taken in Schellville on March 18, 2006. -Rob
 Date: 04/30/06 08:34 Re: Cadillac Commuter Author: mvaughn209 Are the SD-9 and the F-Units all still there? It seems like I heard they are stranded due to a track washout. Can anyone shed any light on the situation there and if its possible for these units to leave by rail? Thanks.

Mark Date: 05/01/06 18:38 Re: Cadillac Commuter Author: GoldenState I don't know about a track washout stranding these units, I think that there are a few Geeps stranded in Eureka, at the north end of the NWP, due to a washout in the Eel river canyon.
The locomotives at Schellville are SP SD9R 4451,4347,4436, and Bessimer F7A 718A, and F7B (number not legible) There is also a flat, a box, a ballast regulator, and a bay window crummy. -Rob |
