I think this was the only time I ever saw a GP9 working the hump. Photos by Bernard Levine taken in 1965.

Date: 03/21/07 22:22 Re: SP Taylor Yard Hump 02/79 Author: ProAmtrak I only was there once back in 85 with me and my dad when the yard was still in full operation, one thing I'm never gonna forget is how loud those retarders are when the cars go over them! And I'm not gonna forget seein' an inbound come in off the Sunset Route or State St. Line and it looked like there was no end to him. Me and my dad were wondering where the caboose was at!
